It could be just a bit bit cheesy, you recognize, generally, it is nonetheless very sturdy in breeze, so it is going to dry up. However initially, the primary 10 overs or so, I believe there can be one thing for the bowlers. We already know that Shaheen Shah Afrifi has determined to bowl first on this floor. No surprises right here, so that you’exterior the leg-stump be seeking to bowl on the stumps. I believe that is, throughout the sequence, it is turning out to be a extremely good sporting wicket.
