(Last 10 match)

The Sophia Gardens pitch has historically been favorable for both batters and bowlers, offering a balanced contest. Early in the innings, seamers can extract movement under the conditions, while batters who adjust quickly can take advantage of the true bounce and fast outfield. Spinners may come into play in the later stages, particularly if the surface dries up and grip increases. With shorter boundaries square of the wicket, expect big-hitting opportunities, but bowlers with smart variations can still find success. A first-innings total in the range of 135–150 runs would be highly competitive at this venue.
