ODI Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

Though it is a batting pitch, the teams winning the toss in ODI at The Rose Bowl ground usually prefer bowling first due to the dew effect. The ground has two pitches – the primary one which is dry and aids batsmen and spin bowlers and the second one which has slight patches of grass thus aiding seam bowlers. Hence, the pitch in which the match is to be played plays a major role in deciding whether to bat or bowl first. Of the 31 total matches played here, 14 teams have won batting first and 15 teams have won batting second. 2 matches had no results. Also, 20 teams have managed to score more than 250 runs indicating that it is a good batting pitch.

T20I Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

As the ground has a batting pitch, the teams that win the toss in T20 matches here usually prefer batting first. Of the 5 T20 matches held here, the team that won the toss chose batting first in 4 cases and won in 3 cases. But in the last two matches held here, the teams bowling first have successfully confined the batting team’s score and chased it. This is mostly due to the dew factor. As the T20 matches are day-night matches or completely night matches, the dew falling on the pitch makes it difficult for the bowlers to control the ball in the second Innings. Moreover, as only 5 T20 matches have been held here, it is hard to come to a conclusion
