Pitch Report

The MCA Stadium has been generally good for batters; however, with heavy cloud and possible moisture, the new ball should move significantly for seamers to exploit. As the match goes on, the pitch is expected to settle and allow stroke makers to extend their shots. If the surface dries out, spinners could be a key factor in the second half of the innings.

• Pitch Nature: Early seam and bounce, better for batting as the innings progresses
• Spinners’ Impact: Mid-overs are key, if the pitch has dried and slowed
• Boundaries: Not small; it is easier to clear them square than straight

Venue Records:

• Highest Team Score: 226/4 – Kolhapur Tuskers
• Lowest Team Score: 69/5 – Ratnagiri Jets
• Average First Innings Score: Approx. 157 Runs
