BBS vs DWS Pitch Report

The surface at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati is quite better. Overcast conditions can challenge batters against the left-arm pacers. The early swing might trouble the top-order. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 167. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to avoid wickets in powerplay. 

Score prediction: 

If Braves bat first - 140-150 runs 

If Warriors bat first - 160-170 runs 

Toss: To Bat

In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won only two times. Rainy conditions might reverse the call during the toss. Chasing is overall a tough call. Anything above 170 would be a tough task to get. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Braves to win the coin toss.
