Ekana Stadium pitch report The Ekana Stadium pitch is likely to favour teams batting first, making the toss crucial. It offers good conditions for stroke play early on, but slows down as the game progresses. Spinners and bowlers using variations become effective later, while chasing under lights can be challenging due to the ball holding on the surface. So, here in this venue, team winning the toss should elect to bat first.
