Pitch Report – BCA Stadium, Vadodara
The surface in Vadodara has generally favoured batters this season. The ball comes onto the bat nicely in the first innings, allowing stroke-makers to score freely once they settle. New-ball bowlers may find some assistance early, but conditions tend to ease quickly. Dew is expected later in the evening, which could make bowling second slightly challenging.
