Indore: The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association is trying to prepare an ideal batting pitch for the one-day international match to be played between India and South Africa at the Holkar stadium here on October 14.

"Huge score excites and entertains the spectators in a limited overs match. So keeping this in mind, we are attempting to make an ideal pitch for the clash," Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association pitch curator Samunder Singh Chauhan told PTI. He is hopeful that the upcoming match will be a thriller at the local Holkar stadium where three one-day matches had been hosted earlier.
