Pitch Report of Mulpani Cricket Ground for Oman vs Malaysia in ACC Premier Cup 2023
The pitch at Mulpani is made of the same soil type as the one at TU Ground, making both tracks similar. Additionally, the presence of grass on the pitch will provide an advantage to seamers during the early stages of the game.
Furthermore, the use of heavy rollers on the pitch creates a uniform and dynamic bounce, reducing the chances for spin bowlers to exploit the surface. Conversely, lighter rollers are used to produce a softer and more even surface, which is more conducive for spin bowlers.
ACC has provided Mulpani with Super Sopper, rollers, grass cutters, and other tools, which can quickly remove excess water from the outfield and pitch after rain, allowing for a speedy resumption of play.
Therefore, unlike in previous games, Mulpani can expect a fresh pitch and outfield, which may lead to a decent score on the board.
