The surface tends to stay true for the first innings but can get slightly slower, bringing spinners and slower bowlers into play.Teams winning the toss often choose to bowl first, especially if there's a chance of rain or dew in the evening. This allows them to take advantage of any moisture early on and benefit from potentially easier batting conditions later.
