Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium provides an ever-changing terrain for bowlers. In the initial phases and especially under floodlights, pacers demonstrate their skill, exploiting the swing offered by the new ball. However, as the match progresses and the shine fades, spinners enter the spotlight, utilizing the pitch’s growing favourability towards spin. This transformation in conditions frequently results in a scenario where batters encounter difficulty in amassing runs, suggesting a potential low-scoring contest shaped by the nature of the pitch.
