GGTW vs RCBW Today’s Match Pitch Report & Condition
The BCA Stadium in Kotambi features a batting-friendly black-soil pitch with a fast outfield, favoring high-scoring matches. While pacers may find slight movement early on, the surface typically remains flat, making it difficult for bowlers to contain runs. For today’s match, the toss is crucial, as heavy evening dew is expected during the second innings. This makes the ball hard to grip and significantly favors the chasing side. Notably, every match played at this venue during the previous WPL season was won by the team batting second. Expect the toss winner to elect to bowl first.
