Pitch Conditions:
- Batting: High-scoring pitch with good bounce.
- Pace Bowling: Early movement in the powerplay; fast bowlers get assistance.
- Spin Bowling: Average turn, but spinners can be effective in the middle overs.
- Winning Strategy: Teams may prefer to bowl first due to increased humidity later in the match.
