IND vs WI Pitch Report

The Visakhapatnam pitch will be great for the batsmen and the ball tends to come on to the bat nicely. The track also tends to aid the spinners so they will play a critical role on both - the Indian and the West Indian sides. Due to the slow nature of the pitch, medium pacers will be able to surprise the batsmen with their slower balls. As the sun sets, the ground will also see some dew, which will make fielding a little difficult in the second innings of the game. As a result, the team winning the toss could be expected to field first.
