Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara: Pitch report for GG vs UPW WPL 2025 match
The pitch has shown a clear tendency to favor batters, as observed in the first two matches. It becomes increasingly easier to bat as the game progresses, thanks to the black soil. The boundaries at the ground are relatively short—60 metres on one side, 51 metres on the other, and 61 metres straight. While seam bowlers might find some assistance early in the innings, the conditions are expected to favor the batters once again on Sunday.
