There may be some swing for fast bowlers initially, especially in evening matches, but as the game progresses, the pitch becomes easier for the batsmen. Spin bowlers do not get much help here, although with good line-length and variation they can make an impact. The effect of dew is also important in the second innings, due to which the ball slips and becomes difficult for the bowlers to control. That’s why teams often like to bowl first after winning the toss. Overall, this pitch is considered a batsman’s paradise and the spectators get to see exciting, run-packed matches.
