Pitch and Weather Conditions

The pitch consistently benefits batters, offering reliable bounce and consistent pace that promotes attacking stroke play. The short boundaries further enhance scoring opportunities, often resulting in high totals. Batters especially thrive in the early overs, with first-innings run rates regularly exceeding 11 per over.

As the game progresses, the surface gradually dries up, providing more assistance to spinners through increased grip and turn. This shift makes the middle and death overs crucial, as spinners use the worn surface to slow down the scoring. Deliveries like arm balls and sliders become exceptionally effective, frequently breaking partnerships and restricting the run flow, especially significant in T20 cricket.

Expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered afternoon showers, particularly between 3 and 4 PM. Temperatures will reach a peak of 34 °C in the afternoon, cooling to around 32 °C in the evening and 29–30 °C at night. High humidity levels of 65% to 80% will make it feel uncomfortable, with a light easterly breeze at 8 to 12 km/h offering minimal relief.
