Pitch Report
The surface at the Ekana Stadium appears dry with minimal grass but is expected to play better than it looks. The hard nature of the pitch should allow the ball to come onto the bat nicely, making it conducive for stroke play.
Short square boundaries (around 60–61 meters) could encourage aggressive batting, while the longer straight boundary (76 meters) may test power hitters. With temperatures hovering around 37°C, some turn could come into play later in the innings, though overall conditions favor batting.
