Pitch Report – BCA Stadium, Vadodara
The pitch in Vadodara has generally supported batting, particularly during night matches. The ball comes nicely onto the bat in the early overs, allowing stroke-makers to play freely. Fast bowlers may find some movement with the new ball, but the surface tends to settle quickly.
Dew is expected to be a factor later in the evening, which could make bowling more challenging in the second innings. Teams winning the toss may prefer to field first to take advantage of improved batting conditions while chasing.
Weather Report :
Weather conditions in Vadodara are expected to remain clear throughout match day. There is no forecast of rain, ensuring a full game. Evening temperatures should stay in the mid-20s Celsius, with humidity increasing slightly as the match progresses. Dew could influence bowling and fielding during the latter half of the game.
