Pitch:
Offers a lower, medium bounce. It acts like a classic subcontinental surface that favors slow-medium pacers and finger spinners, becoming a bit dead over time.
Weather:
Hovering around 31–33°C. It is part of a massive racing complex, the architectural design creates a decent breeze, and its elite drainage means the outfield dries incredibly fast after heavy rain.
