Advantages of Bowling First on This Pitch Out of last 18 IPL matches played at this venue, the batting first teams have registered 8 wins to their name while the fielding first sides have registered 9 victories So, chasing at this ground would be a good option but it does not guarantee you a victory as the pitch gets easier for the batsman in the 2nd innings. It will be fair to say that fielding first teams have more advantage as compared to batting first.
