Harare Sports Club Pitch Report:

Harare Sports Club is known for its balanced wicket, but as per the reports, the pitch of India vs AFG U-19 is expected to be dry and slow; therefore, spinners will be a little crucial. However, the Pacers will be quite effective in the starting-overs, and the chances of rain are quite high, so we may see a few disturbances in the game.
