Batters can score freely once set, and the quick outfield helps the ball race away. Pacers get some early movement with the new ball, while spinners find grip and turn in the middle overs as the surface slows slightly. The first innings average score at the venue is 173.Toss: To BowlIt's a T20 game where the captain would always prefer to bowl first.
