The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai has a red soil pitch that helps both batters and bowlers. It is generally good for batting with decent bounce and speed. Fast bowlers get an advantage early on and spinners become more effective later in the innings. Reports say the final will use the same pitch as India’s league game against New Zealand. If that is true India could benefit since the surface suited them well. The team performance helped India beat the White Ferns easily.
