Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara: Pitch report for GG vs MI WPL 2026 match
 
The Kotambi Stadium pitch in WPL 2026 has proven to be quite slow, making run-scoring challenging.

The ball has often gripped and behaved erratically, causing difficulties for batsmen to get off to a quick start, especially while chasing. Teams choosing to bat first have had the upper hand, as they have been able to post competitive totals before the pitch becomes even more unpredictable.
