Preview:

This match will be the first on for the Brno Rangers on the weekend, while the second and last one for the Prague Spartan Vanguards. This means that while on the one hand, the Rangers will be starting fresh, the Vanguards will have some in-game time on their hands.

But, the thing that would act in Rangers’ favour will be the fact that they were on a cruise in their last season, winning all the three matches, while the Vanguards had won two and lost one encounter. This match’s result will decide a lot of things and provide great momentum to the winning side, which can be taken over the weekend into the finals.

Weather Report:

With a thunderstorm covering the city on Friday, Saturday is also expected to have overcast conditions, with the temperatures hovering around the 18 degrees mark. But the good news is that no rains are expected so the match will in all probabilities proceed without any hindrance.

Pitch Condition/Report:

This match will be the third one to be played on the ground with only a two-hour gap between the games, so some wear and tear is expected on the pitch, that would have seen two full 10-over a side matches by the time this game is played. The pitch has had a history of favouring the batsmen, with the spinners also getting some help from the surface.
