Why Batters Will Dominate?
✅ Flat and True Surface – The ball comes onto the bat perfectly, allowing batsmen to play their shots with confidence.
✅ Short Boundaries – The dimensions of the ground make clearing the ropes much easier, leading to high-scoring encounters.
✅ Average Score Above 200 – The last few matches here have seen teams consistently posting big totals, proving just how good this wicket is for batting.
