Balanced Vizag pitch likely to offer relief to struggling Indian batters
Orissa POST
|October 08, 2025
A balanced pitch which offers considerable assistance to the batters will greet the Indians, who have been struggling to hit a higher note in the ongoing Women’s World Cup, here for their two crucial games against Australia and South Africa.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will face South Africa Thursday and the defending champions Australia October 12 at the ACA-VDCA stadium here.
The venue is hosting a women’s ODI after a gap of 11 years, after India’s match against Sri Lanka January 23, 2014.
“The pitch will offer good help to batters, if you look at the last few matches, including the IPL, here. The bowlers, especially spinners if there is no dew, will have some help as the match goes on,” an Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) official told PTI.
The T20Is here have generally seen high scores, as both India men and Delhi Capitals (in the IPL) were able to chase down 200-plus targets.
