The surface at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium is known for its batting-friendly nature, especially in the first half of the game. The average score here has been 174 runs while the average first-innings score is 181. However, the bowlers (mostly pacers) might get some help here in the second half of the game.
