The records at this stadium, particularly in ODI cricket show that batsmen might find a bit challenging. High-scoring games here have been a rarity except the last game here between Australia and South Africa. However, for those pondering over the toss, history provides a mixed bag of insights.
While chasing teams have tasted victory in two games, teams batting first have edged them out with three wins to their name. The most recent fixture at this venue, the clash between Australia and South Africa, witnessed a more favourable condition for batters during the first innings. This might influence the captain who wins the toss to opt to bat first, aiming to set a challenging total for their opposition.
