In competitive cricket, the performance of the pitch surface dictates every delivery, drive, and spin turn. Engineered specifically for professional cricket clubs, school athletic facilities, municipal ovals, and commercial training centers, UNIGRASS VVS7 25mm artificial grass for cricket pitch installations delivers standard-match consistency under relentless play. Featuring an ultra-dense 26,250 stitches per square meter layout, this specialized high density cricket artificial grass replicates the pace, authentic vertical bounce, and seam response of a seasoned clay wicket while eliminating weather-induced match cancellations.
As a dedicated cricket pitch artificial turf manufacturer, UNIGRASS formulates the VVS7 with heavy-gauge polymer fibers and multi-layer structural backings engineered to endure repetitive spiked cricket boot impact, aggressive bowling friction at the crease, and year-round outdoor climate exposure.

Achieving authentic match performance on this sand dressed cricket turf 25mm requires strict adherence to foundation engineering and infill calibration:
Sub-Base Requirements:
Unlike soft landscaping, a cricket wicket requires an unyielding, flat sub-base. The surface must be installed over a cured 100mm reinforced concrete slab, porous tarmacadam, or a hard-packed, laser-graded dynamic crushed rock base (0–4mm crusher dust compacted to 98% Proctor density).
Silica Sand Infill Calibration:
The 25mm pile height is designed to receive 15–20 kg/m² of washed, kiln-dried, rounded silica sand (grain size 0.3–0.8mm). The sand must be brushed evenly across the surface in dry conditions, leaving 5–8mm of exposed fiber tips to guide ball friction and regulate rebound height.
Inlaid Line Markings:
UNIGRASS supplies factory-cut white turf rolls for permanent bowling creases, popping creases, and return creases, eliminating the recurring cost and labor of manual field chalking.
Match Pitches & Center Wickets: Engineered for standard 22-yard competitive wickets on club grounds, municipal sports parks, and university ovals.
Cricket Practice Nets (Batting Cages): The definitive surface for artificial grass for cricket practice nets. Its 26,250 density resists the friction of repetitive indoor bowling machine drills and spiked boot impact.
Multi-Sport & School Athletic Arenas: The dense 25mm pile profile also functions as an all-weather multisport surface for tennis, field hockey training, and general school sports.
| Performance Factor | Standard Sports Turf (10,000–15,000 D) | UNIGRASS VVS7 Cricket Turf (26,250 D) |
| Ball Bounce Profile | Irregular, spongy, unpredictable | Hard, true, consistent vertical bounce |
| Crease Resistance | Prone to rutting and fiber pull-out | High tuft lock (≥45N) resists bowler drag |
| Spin & Seam Response | Low ball bite; slips on flat blades | Sharp ball friction for off-spin and leg-spin |
| Infill Stabilization | Sand migrates easily across open tufts | Dense pile locks silica sand firmly in place |
| Weather Drainage | Basic drainage holes | ≥60 L/min/m² pre-punched high-flow pattern |
Municipal sports infrastructure and youth academies require documented environmental safety and chemical non-toxicity:
SGS Mechanical & UV Durability: Tested under accelerated laboratory weathering conditions (QUV 5,000 hours), retaining tensile strength above 85% with zero chalking or premature fiber breakdown under intense sun.
RoHS Certified (2011/65/EU): Laboratory verified 100% free of hazardous heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium. Skin contact remains non-hazardous during dive stops and field slides.
REACH SVHC Verification: Tested against strict European Union chemical screening regulations. Zero hazardous plasticizers or SVHC chemicals leach into the sub-base, surrounding soil, or stormwater retention networks.
Standard commercial sports grass (typically tufted at 10,000 to 15,000 stitches/m²) cannot withstand cricket play. A regulation cricket ball weighing approximately 160g striking the ground at speeds between 100 and 140 km/h exerts extreme localized kinetic pressure. On low-density turf, this creates irregular "dead spots" and unpredictable bounce.
Predictable, True Ball Trajectory
The tight lateral blade spacing of our 26250 density sports grass creates an unyielding fiber matrix. When dressed with uniform silica sand, the playing surface provides a level, compact plane that delivers consistent vertical ball rebound across both ends of the pitch.
Responsive Grip for Spin & Seam Bowlers
The textured 25mm fiber tips bite cleanly into the leather surface of the cricket ball upon impact. This provides legitimate turn for off-spin and leg-spin bowlers while maintaining fair ball pace for fast deliveries off the seam.
Zero Ruts at the Bowler's Crease
The bowler's front-foot delivery stride exerts tremendous downward and rotational force on the popping crease. With a tuft extraction rating exceeding 45 N, our high density artificial grass for cricket prevents fiber displacement, preventing divots and tears where standard pitches fail.
Standard turf has wide spacing between tufts, which causes hard cricket balls to impact unevenly, leading to variable bouncing angles and early rutting. The 26250 density sports grass packs thousands of extra upright fibers into every square meter. This creates an unyielding structural bed that retains its shape under heavy ball impact and bowler spikes.
Yes. The VVS7 is designed for concrete slabs, engineered tarmacadam, or crushed stone sub-bases. For indoor cricket training facilities and batting cages, it can be glued directly to clean concrete using two-part polyurethane adhesive, providing a consistent surface for year-round practice.
While the VVS7 can be installed directly onto a smooth, flat concrete or aggregate base, adding an optional 6mm–10mm specialized rubber shock pad underneath enhances joint protection for fast bowlers and mimics the natural shock absorption of traditional soil wickets.
