Dr DY Patil Sports Academy Pitch Report
Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy is a certified batting paradise known for its hard, flat surface and predictable bounce. As the sun sets, the ball should roll perfectly off the pitch, inviting the batsmen to play their shots with ease. While the red ground offers the pacers some early swing and carry, the short boundaries and lightning-fast outfield make it a tough spot to defend.
The real game changer is evening dew. Historically, it settles during the second innings, making the ball slippery and struggling to catch the spinners. As the conditions become much easier for batting as the night progresses, expect the captain who wins the toss to bat first and chase down the total by bringing his team back.
