If pitch has something for the bowlers. Then teams prefer to bat first put some runs on the board. Then try to restrict the chasing team with the help of pace and bounce on the pitch.

Host Team prepare Pitch on their Strength

Host team always has advantage of their home grounds. Host team prepare pitches according to their team strengths. Like India make batting flat pitches as there batting is awlays strong and powerful. Sometimes against Australia and England, they make spin friendly pitches as Spin is their main weapon against these teams. Australia make pitches with pace and bounce as fast bowing at their home grounads is their main strength. This factor is also an important factor and can impact the match result also.

Factors that are Exception to Pitch conditions

Proper Discipline and Execution

Sometimes one team is more disciplined and execute their skills at highest level both in batting and bowling. Sometimes it is indelbile for one team to win the match to go further in the tournament. Sometimes one team is coming from losses, so they try to come back strongly with more discipline and execution. Sometimes some team player come with X-factor and win the game single handedly for his team in batting or bowling.

Strong team vs Weak Team

Very important factor in winning the match is team analysis of two teams.Pitch conditions are exception if the match is b/w a strong team and a weak team. Strong team is always favorite to win a cricket match. In current era, India and Australia are strong teams. Both teams have quality batters and bowlers. They are always favorite whatever the pitch condition is. Same applies to T20 leagues teams in IPL, BBL, PSL etc. Strong teams batters and bowlers have the requisite skills to win the match in their team favor. So team analysis is very important to assess before the match to preditct which team can win the match. For my point of view, team analysis is more important than pitch conditions. In BBL matches also strong and favorite teams have upper hand in the match.
