Pitch Report
The Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara has consistently proven to be a bowling-friendly venue, with early movement for pacers and increasing assistance for spinners as the match progresses. While the historical average first-innings score stands at 121, recent matches indicate a trend of competitive but chaseable totals. The first game here saw a score of 201 runs successfully chased, followed by a second match where 164 runs were posted and the chase went down to the final ball.
The third match recorded 144 runs in the first innings, and in all three cases, the chasing team emerged victorious. Furthermore, four WPL 2025 matches have also been played at this venue, with all of them won by the team batting second. This strong chasing trend suggests that teams winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first, as the pitch appears to ease out for batters in the second innings, making run-chases the preferred approach.
