(Last 10 match)

The Barabati Stadium in Cuttack is traditionally known for its batting-friendly conditions, but the surface also provides some assistance to bowlers. The pitch is expected to be dry and hard, favoring batsmen early on, while spinners could come into play in the latter half of the innings. Pacers might get some movement under lights, making the toss a crucial factor. Teams chasing have had a better record here, as dew in the evening can make bowling slightly difficult. A par score on this wicket is expected to be around 280-300 runs, but with short boundaries and a quick outfield, teams could push the total beyond that if batters settle in. Stroke-makers will enjoy the even bounce, while bowlers will have to be disciplined with their line and length. The team winning the toss might prefer to field first to take advantage of the conditions later in the game.
