PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Mong Kok is one of the placid tracks where batters will have an upper hand here. We will have bright and sunny weather on the match day with no rain expected.

Venue Details

Mong Kok will have good outfield where the ball races to the boundary. We expect the average score to be in the range of 140-150 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bat

Batting first is the best option as the pitch will be tough to bat on as the match progresses and batters need to feast on the bowlers early in the match.
