Pitch analysis
The field at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is made to measure for the race holidays, offering a flat and true surface which allows the strikers to play through the line with confidence.
At the beginning, Pacers could extract a little swing, but once the ball loses its brilliance, the conditions massively favor the strikers.
Filars tend to find limited assistance, especially in evening games, when dew makes it difficult to take the ball.
The rapid outer field still feeds a high score, and the pursuit of the sides often maintains the upper hand here.
The average score of the first time is around 217, highlighting the reputation of the field for the big totals and the fascinating competitions.
