There is an even bounce on the wicket, and the batters can play their shots by trusting the bounce of the wicket. With smaller boundaries and a fast outfield, the conditions are favourable for the batters. In the initial overs of the match, the pacers can swing the hard ball, but after that, the batters will have their time.
Southern Brave and Welsh Fire played here in the inaugural match of the Hundred 2022, where the Southern Brave won the match easily. The pitch is getting better as the match progresses, so both teams would love to chase after winning the toss.
