bca stadium pitch report
The pitch at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara is traditionally a batsman’s paradise, characterized by its hard surface and even bounce that allows stroke-makers to play through the line with confidence. Although fast bowlers may get initial lateral movement with the new ball, the wicket quickly becomes flat, making it difficult for the bowlers to maintain pressure in the middle overs. As the game progresses, the spinners may get some grip and turn, but significant evening dew often neutralizes their impact. As a result, chasing has become the preferred tactic at this venue, as the humidity makes it difficult for the defending side to hold onto the ball.
