IPL Live Score: Pitch report
The pitch offered balanced conditions with a few dry patches aiding both batters and bowlers. The larger square boundary (69m) and a 74m straight boundary made placement key for runs. Batting remained steady throughout, but bowlers found success with disciplined lengths. Overpitched deliveries came on nicely for batters to drive, while shorter balls sat up well. The key on this surface is hitting a good length consistently, which keeps the batters in check and prevents easy scoring. Overall, it’s a surface that rewards smart bowling and calculated strokeplay.
