The first team to bowl has gained the most advantage on this surface. With some cloud cover expected, conditions could influence play. If dew sets in, it could lead to high scores, though smart bowling variations might level the playing field by supporting batters with true bounce and taking advantage of the shorter boundaries. On the other hand, bowlers may find immediate assistance from the sea breeze.
