PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There is forecast for rains in Cardiff on August 08 and the ball move is expected to move around and cause trouble for the batsmen. The wicket has looked flat in recent games that have been played here but there is also slowness in the surface. The side that bats first in the game shall have to target a score in excess of 280 runs.

Venue Details

Sophia Gardens, Cardiff is a big ground, but the surface here is flat. The large size of the ground does offer some cushion to the bowlers, but batsmen have to keep rotating the strike and those who stick to the wicket do well in this venue. Fast bowlers get early assistance from the surface and spinners also enjoy bowling here as the ball turns.

Toss: To Bowl

We have already seen two low scoring games in this competition played here and on both these occasions the side chasing the score has won the game comfortably. There is assistance for the bowlers in the morning and the side that wins the toss here shall look to take advantage of it by bowling first.
