IND vs WI: Pitch Report
Ekana Stadium is another good venue for the batters. It offers a flat deck, which has good bounce and pace. The dew in the second innings will also make it hard for the bowling sides. It is very hard to defend a total here. Spinners will get a little purchase in the lateral stage, but overall, it is a batting-dominant venue.
