BCA Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi has been developed throughout the 2026 season. While traditionally a batting paradise with real bounce and a fast outfield, the surface has slowed down recently and become a more balanced competition. The black ground base helps spinners extract grip in the middle sections, although the cut grass allows for consistent carry at first. Dew is a big factor in evening games, often neutralizing spin and helping the chasing side. With an average first innings score of 148 this year, teams winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first to take advantage of the slip under lights.
