Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium is renowned for being one of the toughest tracks in the tournament. Expect a black clay pitch that starts decently for batting but slows down considerably as the game progresses. In the afternoon game (15:30 IST), the heat will dry the surface making it a paradise for spinners and slower ball specialists. The stadium has long straight boundaries (81 meters) which makes it difficult for power hitters to clear the ropes consistently. This favors disciplined bowlers who can force shots into longer pockets. Win the toss and bat first. Chasing has historically been difficult here as he starts to catch the ball and spin more in the second innings. Since it is a daytime game, there will be no dew factor.
