The pitch at Rajgir International Cricket Stadium is expected to favour the pace bowlers with the new ball, giving them the swinging conditions. Batsmen will be able to do well at this venue once they settle, but batting gets difficult as the game progresses. Spinners will be playing a key role in the last two days of the game. Overall, the conditions of this venue will favour Uttar Pradesh with its balanced attack. Uttar Pradesh has the edge here.
