Carrara Oval, the stage for the Big Bash Challenger, presents a fascinating paradox. Toss appears inconsequential with balanced win-rates for both batting first and chasing, yet the ground itself whispers tales of low scores. An average first-innings total of 123 paints a picture of an extremely tough surface, and the trend bleeds into the second innings, dipping further to 109. Carrara’s wicket, it seems, becomes progressively slower as the match wears on. Hence, the two teams should be focused on applying themselves as that will help them come out on the right side of the result.
