“Ground size is decent, wicket plays well, and umpires are professional.
The organizer was punctual — toss at 6:10 AM and match started right at 6:30 AM.
Very impressed with how organized and transparent they were.
25-over match cost ₹3800 (6 AM slot), which is very reasonable.
Balls could be slightly better, and shorter end-change intervals (every 5 overs instead of 12) would make the experience perfect.”
