Weather Report:

The forecast for the day predicts cloudy skies with the temperatures are expected to be between 11 and 19 degree Celsius. The chances of rainfall are just ten per cent so the match is expected to go on without any hindrance.

Pitch Report:

The pitch here is suited for batsmen, and if the batsmen give the ball some respect at the start, the runs will start to flow in the latter part of the innings, as the outfield of this ground does get progressively fast. But, the bowlers will have a strong chance of doing some real damage by picking wickets up top in the initial few overs.

Average first innings score: 89 (Last five matches)

Record of the chasing teams: Won – 3; Lost – 2
