It was a tough chase with only one player in form. Austria made a winning start to the competition by beating Malta and Slovenia. In both games, they chased down the total.
Armaan Randhawa could also be a player to watch out for. We back him to score over 25 runs in the upcoming game. Karanbir Singh also provides a good start in the opening slot. He also picked up two wickets in the last game. The batting isn’t their weak point but they need collective performance. Austria would eye a victory in the game so Sweden cannot move ahead of them in points table.

AUST vs SWE Pitch Report
The Valley Ground is a good surface to bat on. It gives authority to the batters in both innings. Pacers take advantage with the new ball in powerplay. Spin might come into the assistance. This is the surface where an average total goes to 150-160. Above 160 would be a challenging total considering the extra help to spin. The pitch will slightly get slower.
Score Prediction:
If Austria bat first - 160-170 runs
If Sweden bat first - 145-155 runs
Toss: To Bowl
Chasing has been an easy job on Valley Ground. The surface is getting better with each game. It’s a track where the new ball can make some movements but if you survive the phase, you can get the big score. It’s a decent surface of batting and captain should bowl first to take maximum advantage.
Toss Prediction: Sweden to win the coin toss.
AUST vs SWE
Winning Prediction
Austria enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are the second best side in the ongoing qualifiers and hold the edge over Sweden. They have the balance in the squad. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye two points.
Austria to win.
