Venue Checklist
Venue Checklist for Come Cricket Matchdays
Venue conditions decide how much risk you can carry. A flat pitch, slow surface, short boundary, or dew threat can change which players are worth paying for.
Use venue notes before captain lock, especially when choosing bowlers and lower-order hitters.
Read the ground first
- Check recent scores at the venue.
- Look for help to spin, pace, or chasing sides.
- Account for dew if the second innings matters.
- Match bowler type to pitch pattern before selecting captain.
Pitch and Dew CheckIf venue signals are unclear, reduce entry size or choose a safer room.
Batting pitch
Top-order batters and powerplay hitters usually gain value, but bowling economy risk rises.
Slow surface
Spinners, cutters, and anchors can become more useful than pure hitters.
Dew risk
Chasing sides may get easier batting conditions, so wait for toss before final captain calls.
