The surface at Greenfield International Stadium is good for batting. The batters are enjoying batting her. Meanwhile, overcast conditions are playing spoilsport. Powerplay is key because we may expect a shorter contest. Trivandrum almost chased a 200-plus total. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 182. It is a solid T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively.
Score prediction:
If Trivandrum bat first - 150-160 runs
If Kochi Blue bat first - 170-180 runs
In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won three times. Overcast conditions would help pacers to take advantage with the new ball. Chasing is an ideal in case of rain. The chasing side will get an idea of the D/L score. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Kochi Blue to win the coin toss.
Kochi Blue Tigers enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a far superior T20 side than Trivandrum. They have been an effective unit in the Kerala Cricket League. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye to carry the momentum in the league.
Kochi Blue Tigers to win.
