Batting Conditions

The small 55-60m boundaries mean even mishits clear the rope. Average first innings: 187. In 2025, three IPL matches here produced totals above 200.

Bowling Conditions
Pace bowlers get early movement with the new ball but suffer in the death overs. Economy rates for pace (8.7) are marginally better than spin (9.2) because the small ground punishes anything short from spinners. Wrist spinners who bowl with overspin get more purchase than finger spinners. The best strategy: bowl full and straight with pace, use the hard lengths, and accept that 180+ is par.

Toss Impact
Toss winners field first 65% of the time. The logic is clear: dew arrives after 8:30 PM IST, making the ball harder to grip for bowlers. Chasing teams benefit from a faster outfield and can adjust their target. The 53% chase win rate validates this approach. In day matches (rare in IPL), the advantage flips slightly toward batting first.
Dew Factor
Significant after 8:30 PM IST. Dew makes the ball skid, harder to grip for spinners, and the outfield quickens. Evening matches heavily favour the chasing side.
