PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Salem will have bright and breezy weather on the match day with every less to no chances of rain. Dew might settle down and cause trouble to bowlers in second innings.

Venue Details

Salem pitch has been on the slower side and the batters are struggling to time the ball fluently here. Bowlers will have an upper hand on this track, and we expect the average scores to be around 140-150 runs on this pitch.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams will look to bowl first in this match as the pitch will ease out as the match progresses and the early moisture might help the bowlers. Chasing is the best option in the T20 matches off late.
