The pitch for the 2nd ODI is anticipated to significantly favor the spin bowlers, showcasing a slower nature as the match progresses. This characteristic will allow spinners to extract more turns and bounce, complicating the task for the batsmen to time their shots effectively.
The slow pitch will make it hard for batters to play aggressive shots, so they must choose their shots carefully to score runs. Because of this, teams might add good spinners and batsmen who are good at playing spin bowling, getting ready for a game where patience and skill are important.
As it will be the third match on the same pitch, it will favor the spinners heavily. However, if the rain drips heavily, it will surely not help bowlers, as it will be hard to grip the ball.
