ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium pitch is a classic T20 surface, flat, firm and suitable for aggressive strokeplay. Red clay wickets generally produce genuine bounce, allowing batsmen to play across the line with confidence. However, Visakhapatnam’s coastal humidity could add a subtle twist, bringing the spinners into play in the middle overs with enough grip for the bowlers. As said, the main impact is expected to be heavy dew in the evening. As the temperatures drop, the outfield is likely to become steep and slippery, making ball control a real challenge for bowlers. In such a situation, the team winning the toss will definitely prefer to bowl first.
