(Last 10 match)

The surface at the Civil Service Cricket Club is traditionally bowler-friendly early on, especially for seamers who can exploit the moisture and swing available. Batters may need time to settle before playing their shots, but once set, there are ample scoring opportunities, particularly square of the wicket. Spinners also come into play in the latter half of the innings as the pitch dries up. Expect a total around 130–150 to be competitive in women’s T20 matches. Teams may prefer to bowl first, given the movement available with the new ball in overcast conditions.
