Ys Rajasekhara Reddy Pitch Report from ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium

The Visakhapatnam pitch is generally a balanced surface which tends to favor batters from the start. However, true to Indian conditions, the black ground surface is expected to deteriorate, becoming increasingly slower and lower as the match progresses, thus providing substantial support to the spinners, who have historically enjoyed great success here. The average first round score usually hovers around 230, making any goal above 250 difficult to chase. The captain who wins the toss may prefer to chase, betting on the pitch remaining manageable under the lights and hoping to capitalize on a potentially reduced target.
