The match is scheduled to start at 05:30 PM Local Time (08:00 PM IST) and can be streamed live via FanCode.

Preview:

The last match of the first day of the two-day tournament will be competed fiercely between the two sides as it will play a big role in determining which side will advance to the playoffs and which will not. Both the teams will have in-game experience in their hands as before coming into this match, each of the two teams would have played two matches each earlier on the same day. With experience and knowledge about the pitch’s behaviour and their players’ form in their hands, both the teams will be bringing the best of their line-ups on the field, making it difficult for either side to get to an easy win.

Weather Report:

With overcast conditions prevailing throughout, high chances of rainfall pose a threat to the match which would have otherwise gone without any hindrance. The temperature is expected to be hovering around the 15 to 19 degree Celsius mark.

Pitch Report:

The captain winning the toss on this surface, given its nature of slightly favouring the batsmen, will in all probabilities go in to bat first and put a total on the board for the bowlers to defend later on.

Average score: 158 (Last 5 games of EPL T20)

Record of chasing teams: Won -2; Lost- 3
