Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The full red soil surface of the Ekana Stadium pitch is renowned for its bounce and speed. Its long boundaries provide the bowlers some reprieve even though it’s a high-scoring venue. The grass covering the pitch is uniform, which guarantees little movement of the seams while giving the spinners enough bounce and turn.
The surface has historically been sluggish, which makes it difficult for batters because the ball is difficult to get onto the bat. Here, spinners flourish, making use of the turn and grip, while pacers with different styles might be useful. Dew won’t likely be a big part of it. In order to limit the opposition to a low score, the team that wins the toss will try to bowl first.
