Pitch Report
The Oakland Coliseum is known for offering a fair contest between bat and ball, making it an exciting venue for this Major Cricket League encounter.
Here’s what you need to know about the conditions:
Batting Conditions
✔ Good for Strokeplay – The pitch provides consistent bounce, allowing batters to play their shots freely.
✔ Normal Boundary Sizes – Unlike some smaller grounds, the dimensions here are balanced, meaning batters must work harder for sixes.
✔ Pacers Get Assistance – The surface offers early movement for fast bowlers, making the first few overs crucial.
Bowling Conditions
✔ Pacers Dominate – Seamers have been more successful here, particularly in the powerplay and death overs.
✔ Spinners Struggle – The lack of significant turn means slow bowlers must rely on variations and accuracy.
✔ No Dew Factor – Unlike some venues, dew won’t play a role, so chasing isn’t necessarily easier.
