BARA vs DHA Pitch Report

The pitch at TB Shah Cricket Ground is a decent track for the batters. However, the overcast conditions can make it a bowling-friendly wicket. It’s a surface where pacers can take early advantage through seam and swing. Spinners might lose the assistance. It is a decent T20 batting surface with the average 1st innings score around 125-130 runs. Anything above 130 can be a good total to defend. 

Score Prediction: 

If Bara bats fist - 140-150 runs 

If Dhanusha bats first - 120-130 runs 

Toss: To Bat

Considering the rain prediction in the first hour, chasing should be a brave call for both teams after winning the toss. With the new ball, the fielding side can pick early wickets. The surface should get better in the second innings. Extra bowler will be key for both. It’s a pitch where teams should bowl first and restrict the opposition under 130. The captain should go for the chase after the toss and take maximum advantage. 

Toss Prediction: Bara to win the coin toss.
