PAS vs AKA Pitch Report

The surface at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is good for batting. The pitch offers a good bounce. Pacers can be effective with the new ball. It will be a morning game so batting would be slightly easier. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 178. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play sensibly. 

Score prediction: 

If Anvita bat first - 160-170 runs 

If Palamuru bat first - 130-140 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won four times. Overcast conditions can help pacers to pick early wickets. This is the surface where we can see big scores getting chased down. It was a batting friendly wicket during the IPL as well. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Anvita to win the coin toss.
