The pitch is traditionally a batsman-friendly surface, with good bounce and pace, which allows batsmen to play freely from the start. Bowlers, especially pacers, can still find success on the flat track with proper disciplined swing. As the game progresses, spinners may get moderate help, but throughout batting is expected to remain easier.
