WAS vs NY Pitch Report — Oakland Coliseum, Oakland  

During the early stages of MLC 2026, Oakland Coliseum provided opportunities for both batters and bowlers. The venue has also produced an even split of wins for teams batting first and chasing, with three each. New-ball movement has frequently created early opportunities for seamers; however, once batters calm down, the shorter boundaries allow quick speed through the middle and death overs.
