Pitch Report
The average first innings score in the first six matches in GSL 2024 has been around 142. Three out of the six games have been won by chasing teams. The captain who wins the toss would want to bowl first and have a target in front. Making the most of the powerplay overs is crucial as runs can be hard to come by when the field spreads out and the ball gets softer.
