NZ vs SL: Pitch Report
The surface at Chinnaswamy Stadium is the best batting surface that one can get in entire India across all venues. With shorter boundaries and a fast outfield, this is a paradise for a batting team. New Zealand recently scored 401 against Pakistan. But batting first is an ideal choice here in day-night games.
