In T20 matches, the slow nature of the pitch tends to limit both aggressive batting and fast bowling effectiveness. Teams often prefer to field first at this venue, although chasing can still be competitive. Batters need to adopt a cautious approach to build their innings, with the average first-innings score in the IPL hovering around 164.
