DCW vs RCW Today’s Match Pitch Report & Condition
The pitch at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy today looks pretty good for batting. It’s firm with decent bounce, which batters usually love. Bowlers might get a little bit of help early on with the new ball, but those short square boundaries here don’t make life easy for them – once batters settle in, they can really go after the bowling.
The big thing tonight is going to be the dew. It usually comes in heavy during the second innings at this ground, and that makes it tough for bowlers to grip the ball properly. The outfield gets quicker too. That’s why whoever wins the toss will almost definitely choose to bowl first. Chasing under lights with all that dew around just makes things easier. We’ve seen it happen here before – teams batting second have a clear advantage.
