PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We will see clear skies over Coimbatore. The maximum temperature predicted for the day is 35° C with a humidity of 28%. The conditions here will be good for the batters as they can score runs easily.  

KNSO vs ICN Pitch Report

Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Ground has shorter boundaries and a quick outfield, making it an excellent venue for the batsmen. Fast bowlers struggle on this surface, but we have seen spinners get assistance from the track and do well. This venue has an average first innings score of 153 runs this year. The side batting first will be happy to have 180 runs on the board.

Toss: To Bowl

In this format, the team chasing the score has an advantage. In the last four games at this venue, the side chasing has won three times. The team winning the toss would look to capitalize on the conditions by bowling first.
