SA vs CAN: Pitch Report

Narendra Modi Stadium is a big venue, with long square boundaries. That is where bowlers can use these dimensions. There will be some swing early on with the new ball.

As seen in the IPL, this wicket gets better to bat with time. But in any traditional Indian wicket, there will be a slow turn for the spinners with the old ball.
