Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The stadium has the longest straight boundaries compared to other stadiums in India. The pitch is grassy which makes it a pace bowler favourable pitch, The grass on the pitch reduces the roughness of the pitch that allows the ball to swing thereby making it a favourable pitch for pace bowlers. However, this pitch doesn’t adapt for spin bowlers as the ball doesn’t grip the ground.
