Pitch Report – Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur
Pitch Parameter
Details
Pitch Type
Traditional black soil wicket; two-paced surface that slows down significantly through the middle overs
Avg 1st Innings Score (IPL History)
160–180 runs; one of the lower-scoring IPL venues with an average run rate of 7.48 per over across six matches here
Toss Decision
Bowling first strongly preferred; chasing sides have won 4 of 6 IPL matches at this venue; dew further advantages the chasing team
Pace Assist
Good in the powerplay with seam movement and bounce; cutters and slower balls become effective as the pitch dries out in middle overs
Spin Assist
Builds from overs 7 to 15 on the dry black soil surface; wrist-spinners and left-arm orthodox bowlers find grip and turn; dew reduces spin effectiveness post the 12th over in the 2nd innings
Dew Effect
Arrives from the 10th over onwards; makes the ball slippery, neutralises spinners, and gives batting side a clear advantage in the chase
