CSG vs NRK Outfield Report

Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Ground

The Coimbatore surface generally favors batters, especially under lights. However, the pitch tends to offer slow turn and variable bounce as the game progresses. Spinners and slower bowlers have enjoyed success in the middle overs, especially when bowling second.

The weather in Coimbatore on June 9 is expected to be warm and humid with temperatures ranging between 29°C to 34°C. Dew might play a part in the second innings, giving chasing sides a slight edge. Weather conditions favor a full game without delays.

In recent seasons at Coimbatore, first innings scores between 160 and 180 have been common. Teams batting first usually aim for 175+ to feel safe. The lowest defended score has hovered around 155, so any total below that could be tricky to protect.
