BB vs ROR: Match Details

ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam: Pitch Report

The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam is one of the batting-friendly venues in the country. The red-soil wicket is flat, and the ball comes onto the bat quite nicely. The proximity to the sea means dew can play a significant role in the evening games. Bowlers can get lateral movement due to the sea breeze and spinners can get grip off the surface.

AA vs ATMWS: Match Details

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai: Pitch Report

The Wankhede Stadium has historically offered favourable conditions for batters due to the flatter red-soil wickets. Despite the batters having the edge in the season, the bowlers have found some help in the form of movement of the surface and grip for spinners. The shorter boundaries and fast outfield make it easier to score runs, and with this being a night fixture, dew is expected to play a significant role.
