SMP vs NRK: SCF Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The surface at the SCG Cricket Ground has hosted several consecutive matches in the TNPL 2025, and the pitch has shown signs of slowing down on multiple occasions. Bowlers have an advantage with the new ball, while spinners become increasingly effective as the ball gets older. As it ages, spinners can extract good grip from the surface, making it difficult for batters to attack. Although there is a chance of dew settling in during this night game, the team winning the toss is still likely to choose to bat first, since the pitch tends to slow down as the innings progresses. The average first innings total here is 165 runs.
