Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

Unlike in the IPL 2023, the Ekana Stadium pitch is giving joy to the batters in the World Cup 2023. There have been three matches played at the venue in the ongoing tournament and there have been five totals of over 200 in six innings, with one being 311 in the SA vs AUS game. However, there is help for the bowlers. In the three World Cup matches, pacers have taken more wickets (24) than spinners (19). So it is a neutral venue.

Last result at the venue

SL – 209 (43.3/50) (Pacers – 4w, Spinners – 5w)

AUS – 215/5 (35.2/50 overs) (Pacers – 3w, Spinners – 1w)

Australia won by 5 wickets.

What are IND vs ENG Fantasy Tips?

• Liam Livingstone can be crucial with both bat and ball, he can contribute 50+ points.
• Ravi Ashwin dismissed Ben Stokes for 4 times in 8 ODI matches conceding just 56 runs. If Ashwin plays, it would be a huge challenge for Stokes to face him.
• Most people will ignore Shreyas Iyer. But this is an ideal pitch for Shreyas Iyer to score runs. He has fifties in both 1 ODI and 1 T20I he played at Ekana.
• Virat Kohli (108 Runs) gave wickets to Adil Rashid 3 times in 7 ODIs with a strike rate of 93.1.  
• Ekana is KL Rahul’s IPL home ground. He averages around 37 in IPL here.
• Shubman Gill never faced English bowling in ODI. If we consider Tests, he just scored 140 runs in 9 innings. Apart from that, at Ekana Stadium, he played 4 matches (1 ODI + 2 T20Is + 1 IPL) and scored only 17 runs as a whole.
