Pitch report
The Ekana Stadium pitch is a complete red soil surface known for its pace and bounce. Despite being a high-scoring venue, its long boundaries provide some respite for the bowlers. The pitch has an even grass covering, ensuring minimal seam movement but providing some turn and bounce for the spinners.
Traditionally, the surface has been slow, making it challenging for batters as the ball does not come onto the bat easily. Spinners thrive here, using the grip and turn to their advantage, while pacers with variations can be effective. Dew is unlikely to play a major role. The team that wins the toss will look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a low score.
