PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Kathmandu is a balanced pitch where the ball will come onto the bat and some spice for the bowlers in this pitch. And we expect bright and sunny weather in the match day with no weather interruptions expected.

Venue Details

Kathmandu will be a good scoring venue, and last match 250+ runs were scored in both the two innings. We expect another good contest between the bat and ball in this match too.

Toss: To Bat

Both teams will be looking to bat first in this match as they might crumble under pressure while chasing the target.
