Match Details
Match: KCA Eagles vs KCA Royals, Final
Date & Time: 23rd March, 2021 at 10:00 AM
Venue: Sanatana Dharma College Ground, Alappuzha
Pitch Report
The pitch in Alappuzha is a balanced one and has seen a fair contest between the bat and the ball. Batters have performed well in the first innings, which will tempt the captains to bat first upon winning the toss.
A score in excess of 150 is considered a par total at this venue. The pacers have found the right line and length from the first ball as there is a lot of swing and bounce on offer. The spinners will find it difficult to execute their plans at all times but will get some help from the track.
