Pitch Report and Weather Update
Dr DY Patil holds special significance in WPL 2026 history. This very ground hosted the league’s first-ever battle. The venue carries beautiful memories for women’s cricket fans. Today’s pitch report reveals interesting bowling-friendly characteristics though.
Here’s what makes this pitch challenging – it slows down dramatically. Early batting feels comfortable but conditions deteriorate as battles progress. Scoring freely becomes nearly impossible in the second innings. That’s why teams winning the toss prefer batting first here.
Setting targets works far better than chasing at this venue. Bowlers gain a massive advantage as the pitch wears out throughout games.
The weather’s looking perfect for the second game. Temperatures between 13°C and 20°C with clear skies overhead. Zero rain interruptions mean complete cricket action guaranteed.
