Pitch Report:
The pitch at St Xavier’s College Ground provides a fair contest between bat and ball, though it tends to dry out and slow down as the game progresses. This shift in conditions benefits spinners and bowlers who rely on variations, particularly during the second innings. While the surface supports fluent stroke play early on, batting becomes more difficult later in the match. Captains winning the toss usually opt to bat first, aiming to set a solid total and defend it as the pitch wears down. In T10 and T20 formats, the average first innings score ranges between 90 and 110.
