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.
