The pitch at St Xavier's College Ground offers a balanced contest for T20 matches. The average first innings score is 143, which means both batsmen and bowlers get opportunities. However, the second innings saw a drop in scoring, with the average being 130. Chasing targets became even more difficult as the pitch slowed down.
Swing bowlers will get excellent movement in the early overs and batsmen may have to play cautiously initially. The high humidity (86%) may help the ball grip and assist spinners later in the game, making it a little difficult for batsmen to play big shots against spin.
