Pitch
Sophia Garden has held two games so yet, both of which were high-scoring affairs. The batsmen will benefit from the short boundaries and speedy outfield, and there might be many runs scored once again. On this ground, defending runs may be challenging, but anything between 170-180 should be a safe option.
