The pitch report from hyderabad courtesy of Pommie Mbangwa and Michael Clarke says “Atmospherically, it is okay, doesn’t feel too hot and that’s a good thing, the players will feel good about that. Normally it is steamy here. Playing dimensions are small and smaller, 63 and 69m square boundaries, 77m straight. It’s good to be a batsman. The only bit of grass is here behind the stumps, it’s an absolute belter, it looks beautiful and it’s going to play well. I think you’re looking at 220-230 par score. Ideally, win the toss and bat for 40 overs - well that’s not in the rules. It’s the notorious pitch no. 2 where 211 is the par score. We haven’t seen too much dew here, the toss doesn’t play too big a part. Pristine conditions”
