In the limited sample, batters have found help in the first half of the matches. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down. This brings bowlers into the equation.

Cazaly’s Stadium: Pitch Conditions
Cazaly’s Stadium rolls out a competitive pitch for limited-overs cricket. Batters and bowlers find help in different phases.
Fast bowlers look to make the most of the movement and bounce on offer with the new balls. Spinners find some turn in the middle overs.
As for batters, they execute their strokes freely once the pitch wears down and flattens. Smaller boundaries further make their life easy.
