DY Patil Sports Academy Pitch Report
The pitch at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy is a certified “batting paradise”, characterized by its hard, flat surface and genuine bounce. In this evening match, the ball is expected to come onto the bat beautifully, giving stroke makers a chance to play through the line with confidence. While the red clay may offer some early carry and swing for the fast bowlers, the short boundaries and lightning pace are quite beneficial for the outfield batsmen. Historically, the dew factor plays a significant role in the second innings, making it difficult for spinners to hold the ball and encouraging captains to bowl first and chase.
