PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Kingston has cool, breezy and overcast conditions with possibilities of scattered showers. We don’t expect it to play a huge role in this match as this match happens in the afternoon time.

Venue Details

The pitch has spiced up little aiding the faster bowlers mainly due to the overcast conditions. We can expect average scores in the range of 80-90 runs in this match. Any score above 90 runs will be hard to chase.

Toss: To Bat

Batting first is the safe option in big matches as the pressure of chasing haunts the team in the final stages of the matches especially.
