TOSS PREDICTION
At this venue, most of the teams won the match – while chasing. And also, since there could be plenty of rain interruptions during the game, the toss-winning captain will probably opt to bowl first here.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
This ground generally offers good batting pitch, but there are chances of severe rain throughout the day, and there will be plenty of moisture inside the surface, and that should help the seamers. So we can expect some swing and seam with the new ball.
