AEC vs VFB Pitch Report

The ACA International Stadium has produced favourable results for teams batting first in the Women's Andhra Premier League 2026, with all five completed matches at the venue being won by the side that set the target. 

The average first-innings score across these games is 156 runs, indicating a competitive surface where batting first has provided teams with a clear advantage. With chasing sides yet to win at the venue in the tournament, setting a challenging total could once again be the preferred approach.
