The last time the Men in Blue played here was back in December last year, against South Africa in a match that they won by 30 runs.
As for the general pitch report, the surface here is usually well-balanced but leans slightly in favour of batters, particularly in T20 games.
The pitch is generally flat with reliable bounce, enabling stroke play once players settle in. Pacers can extract early movement and carry with the new ball, while spinners tend to come into play as the surface slows down through the middle overs, offering more grip and control.
