The even bounce on the track will encourage the batters to play their shots by trusting the wicket. This ground’s outfield is rapid and quick, and once placed in the gap, the ball will sail towards the boundary ropes. However, two games of the Hundred have been played at this stadium this season, and the pacers did well in both matches.

The biggest boundary at this stadium is around 82 metres, whereas the smallest boundary is around 76 metres. So, the boundaries of this stadium are relatively big, and the bowlers will take this to their advantage. Both captains would aim to chase after winning the toss.
