PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We will have clear skies over Kirtipur. Batters do well on this wicket as the ball comes to the bat nicely. There is no room for the bowlers on this surface, and they must use their variations to do well. The average first-innings score at the venue is 139 runs, and the team batting first will expect 160 runs.

NEP-W vs SCT-W Pitch Report

Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur is a large ground. The wicket is good for batting as the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers must bend their backs on this surface, but the spinners have earned rewards from the track.

Toss: To Bat

We have had high-scoring games at this venue in recent months. The wicket will be great to bat on at the start, but it slows down in the second half, making run chases difficult. The side that wins the toss would like to bat first.
