Pitch Report
The surface at Cazaly’s Stadium is designed for bowling. The pacers get a lot of help off the pitch early on and pick up a lot of wickets. The batters do find it tough to get going here throughout the first rounds. However, as the contest develops, it is evident that the wicket gets a bit better to bat on. The teams pursuing a total generally have an advantage over the teams batting first.
As a result, the captains should seek to bowl first on a fresh Cazaly’s Stadium pitch and then chase as the surface becomes easier. At this facility, a total of roughly 160 would be ideal.
T20 Records
The Cazaly’s Stadium has not hosted much cricket so far. Except for a solitary WBBL game, no T20 games, international or local, have been played at this stadium. As a result, there isn’t much data to evaluate for analysis.
However, in the ODIs played here, it has been observed that teams batting second have had more success than those establishing a score. The lone WBBL match played here was also won by the chasing team.
