Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, Pitch Report for GG vs MI WPL Match

With the dimensions of 58m and 50m on either side, the Kotambi Stadium isn't a large ground to cover for batters. Hence, bowlers will need to vary their pace and lengths accordingly. Regardless, batting has been relatively easy on this black-soil pitch.

The dew has played a decisive role, with all four WPL matches won by chasing teams thus far. Hence, expect runs, a bit of spin in the first innings, and dew in the second innings in the GG vs MI match as well.
