Pitch:
It offers a balanced but bowler-leaning T20 surface, where the average first-innings score sits near 133. The hard deck gives quick, true bounce and early seam movement that rewards disciplined fast bowlers with probing lengths and occasional lateral deviation. As the game wears on, the surface eases into consistent cushioning, allowing spinners to find reliable grip and extract turn without being dramatic.
Weather:
Clear skies and sunny conditions with a comfortable temperature around 23°C, negligible chance of precipitation, and low humidity near 22%. A steady breeze at about 13 km/h will help bowlers with seam control and may carry the ball to the boundary on occasion, but conditions should remain perfectly suited for uninterrupted play.
Fantasy Playing XI:
