INA vs PHI Outfield Report

Udayana Cricket Ground

The Bali pitch tends to favor batters early on, with good carry and true bounce allowing stroke play during the Powerplay. As the match progresses, slower deliveries and cutters grip the surface better. Expect teams to bat freely early but struggle to maintain the tempo at the backend.

On match day, Bali will be largely sunny and warm at about 30°C, with humidity possibly enhancing swing in the twilight overs. No major rain interruptions are expected, so a full match is likely.

Teams often post totals of about 150-160 when batting first at this ground. The highest recorded total has been 182, while the lowest successful chase remains 129. Batting first and setting a total near 165-170 gives the team a fighting edge, while anything below 140 could be tricky to defend.
