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.

Batting First Advantage: Teams often prefer to bat first to take advantage of the more predictable pitch conditions early on.

Average Scores: The average first-innings score is around 130-60, but higher scores are possible with disciplined batting.

Dew Factor: In day-night matches, the presence of dew can be a factor, making the ball slippery and giving an advantage to batsmen in the second innings.

Runs on Board: In T20s, the pitch generally supports scores in the range of 170-190, although higher scores are achievable.

Chasing: Teams might prefer to chase due to the unpredictability of the pitch in the second innings and the potential dew factor.
