The tournament has, so far assisted the spinners who have made full use of the turn they are generating off the surface. In fact, four of the top-5 leading wicket takers of Women’s Asia Cup 2022 so far are spinners.

The pitch, despite staying a touch on the slower side, has been decent enough for the batters who have been willing to take the aggressive route. Having said that, teams have struggled to post huge totals on the board so far, which has had a lot to do with the relatively slow outfield at the venue.

All in all, if the batters manage to tackle the opposition spinners, the pitch has in it to help teams post totals at least in the vicinity of the 160-run mark.
