INA vs PHI Outfield Report

Udayana Cricket Ground

The Bali pitch typically favors batsmen early in the game with true bounce and a quick outfield. However, as the game progresses, the surface tends to slow down, assisting spinners and bowlers who take the pace off the ball. Expect a high-scoring powerplay followed by a more tactical middle and death overs phase.

Forecasts predict clear skies with temperatures around 31°C and humidity hovering near 65%. Dew is unlikely to play a significant role given the afternoon timing, which means captains may prefer to bat first and post a solid total.

Historically, teams batting first in Bali have scored in the range of 140–165 runs, with 180+ being a match-winning total. Defending anything above 160 becomes easier due to pitch slowdown and grip. Conversely, chasing under lights has proven tricky, but in a day game, both options remain viable.
