Pitch Report

The pitch at Ekana Stadium is black soil where batters find it difficult to score runs. This is the same pitch where in IPL 2023, teams were not able to score even 140-150 runs. So, fans can expect a low scoring match with spinners playing a crucial role. Opening batters are important to make the best of the powerplay overs.
