The surface at the Rose Bowl usually provides a fair contest between bat and ball. Unlike some high-scoring ODI grounds, it isn’t completely flat, but batters can still expect good value for their shots. As the game wears on, the pitch often slows down, which could make stroke play more difficult and scoring at a brisk pace a greater challenge.
