Once considered as a pitch slow and troublesome for batters, the Ekana Stadium surface has now emerged as a high-scoring destination. The circuit provides even bounce and a quick outfield, so stroke-makers are able to play their natural game. Consequently, totals over 220 are now not beyond realization, and viewers can look forward to an engaging contest.

Yet the dew factor becomes very important on evening games. The longer the game lasts, the less the surface becomes friendly to bowlers, particularly spinners. The outfield becomes slippery, and the bowlers usually have problems maintaining their grip. This gives the team batting second a definite edge since chasing is much easier.

With these circumstances, the toss is a crucial strategic choice. The captain who wins the toss will be likely to choose to bowl first, hoping to capitalize on a new pitch and then pursue under lights with the dew on their side.
