YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Visakhapatnam is generally a balanced surface which helps the batsmen in the beginning. However, to suit Indian conditions, the black clay surface is expected to be poor, becoming slow and low as the match progresses, providing ample assistance to the spinners who have historically achieved great success here. The average first innings score usually hovers around 230, making it difficult to chase any target above 250. The captain who wins the toss may choose to chase, betting on the pitch remaining manageable under lights and hoping to take advantage of a potentially reduced target.
Squad:
India: Harmanpreet Kaur (Captain), Smriti Mandhana (Vice-Captain), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (WK), Uma Chhetri (WK), Renuka Singh Thakur, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Sri Charani, Radha Yadav, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaur.
