The Indian Cement Company Ground Pitch Report:
The Indian Cement Company Ground in Tirunelveli is renowned for its balanced pitches that provide assistance to both batters and bowlers. Seamers can extract movement early on, particularly under lights during night matches. As the game progresses, the surface generally flattens out, allowing batters to play their shots more freely. Spinners also find some assistance in the middle overs with a bit of grip and turn. With its relatively short boundaries, defending totals can be challenging unless bowlers stick to disciplined lines and lengths.
