MUM-W vs DEL-W, WPL 2025: Vadodara Stadium Pitch Report

The second match of the third season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) will feature a thrilling clash between the inaugural champions, Mumbai Indians (MI), and the two-time finalists, Delhi Capitals (DC). Both teams will begin their WPL 2024 campaign with this match, which will be played at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Let’s take a look at the pitch conditions and weather forecast for this match.

Vadodara Stadium Pitch Report

This is the first time WPL matches are being held at Kotambi Stadium. The venue is relatively new, and it previously hosted an ODI match where the Indian women’s team faced West Indies. The stadium witnessed a high-scoring thriller in the first match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Giants (GG), where Gujarat posted a massive total of 201 runs. However, RCB successfully chased it down, recording the highest successful run chase in WPL history.

The boundaries at Kotambi Stadium range from 75 to 65 meters. The pitch is known to favor batters, allowing plenty of fours and sixes. However, as the game progresses, spinners tend to get assistance from the surface. Teams winning the toss usually prefer to bat first, as the wicket slows down in the second innings, making chases difficult. That said, teams with powerful hitters can still put up or chase down big scores.
