(Last 10 match)

The Greenfield International Stadium pitch has historically offered balance between bat and ball. Batters find good value for their shots once they get set, thanks to the true bounce and quick outfield. However, bowlers—particularly seamers—can extract movement with the new ball under lights, while spinners tend to come into play in the middle overs as the surface slows down. Captains winning the toss may prefer to bat first, aiming to set a strong total around 160–170 runs, which often proves competitive at this venue.
