Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium generally provides assistance to the bowlers, particularly the spinners. This pitch is renowned for its slow nature, making it challenging for batsmen to launch into aggressive shots right from the start. Furthermore, as the match progresses, the sluggishness of the pitch can also favor pace bowlers, allowing them to showcase their full array of variations, including slower deliveries, wobble balls, and cutters, in addition to their standard deliveries.
