The JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi has hosted just a couple of T20I matches so far and the track has been pretty even for both batters and bowlers. However, the pitch for the upcoming match would be fresh. Hence, batters can enjoy a gala time. Not to forget, pacers might also get some purchase in the initial part of the innings.
