(Last 10 match)

The pitch at Ekana International Cricket Stadium generally favors both batsmen and bowlers, offering a balanced contest. Early on, the fast bowlers may extract some bounce, but as the game progresses, the pitch tends to favor the batsmen, providing a good platform for scoring. Spin bowlers can also come into play during the middle overs, especially when the pitch starts to slow down. The outfield is quick, allowing boundaries to be easily hit, so expect a high-scoring game. Dew may also play a factor in the second innings, which could make bowling in the night more challenging.
