(Last 10 match)

The surface at the TIO Stadium traditionally offers a good balance between bat and ball. Early in the innings, fast bowlers may extract movement with the new ball under slightly humid conditions. However, as the game progresses, the pitch flattens out, allowing batters to play their strokes freely. The true bounce helps stroke-making, while spinners may find assistance from dry patches during the middle overs. With relatively short boundaries, high-scoring contests are common at this venue. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, looking to chase under consistent conditions, with par scores expected around 165–180 runs.
