Surface: These pitches will feature similar bounce and extra pace as it happens in Australia. This setup is likely to benefit tall and fast bowlers significantly.

Pace-Friendly: As other Australian Pitch this pitch will also be helpful for paces. Pacers can extract good turn and bounce, making them a potent force on this pitch.

Batting: While the pitch can be good for batting in the early stages of a match, it can become more challenging as the game goes on. Batsmen need to apply themselves and be cautious of the spin and occasional low bounce.
