This venue is going to host its first-ever T10 game, however, it is a great batting surface when it comes to the white ball. The teams batting first enjoy scoring runs on this pitch as it offers trustable bounce on which batters love to play flashy strokes.

In addition, it is a 10 overs a side game so things might get different games which means the wickets will remain the same throughout the game. It is expected that the first few games of the tournament will be run scoring fest in which we will see 14-150 scores at par.
