Pitch report

The Ekana stadium surface has assisted spinners over the years. It is slow, and the ball does not come easily onto the bat. Slower bowlers get some grip and turn from the surface. The wicket could be similar for this game too. The stadium has relatively longer boundaries considering Indian standards. Spinners would love to make use of it by tossing the ball up frequently. Pacers with variations can make a difference. Not offering pace would be key for the bowlers. Batters must rotate the strike well in the middle overs and make the most of the batting conditions in the Powerplay overs.
