Pitch and Playing Conditions

The Contractor Stadium in Surat is renowned for favoring the team chasing the target. Out of the four international matches held at this venue, the team batting first has won only three times, indicating that the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses.

This trend is underscored by the significant difference in average scores: the average first innings score is 135, while the average second innings score is a modest 94.

Hence, winning the toss becomes pivotal in determining the match outcome at the Contractor Stadium. A captain winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first, capitalizing on the fresher wicket and potentially setting a challenging target for the opposing team to chase.
