It offers good balance between bat and ball. In the last five matches on this ground, the average first innings total in the Men’s 20I is 154. Anything above 154 would be a winning total.

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five T20Is on this track, chasing sides won four matches. 188 is still the highest successful run-chase on this ground in the last 15 matches. Chasing should be a good call to take maximum advantage. It’s a batting paradise. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Norway to win the coin toss.
