PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be cloudy skies and there are predictions for rains at Velvary on June 20. The pitch wouldn’t be the easiest ones to bat on as the oddball is expected to skid making strong playing difficult. The side batting first would be happy with a score of 80-90 runs.

Venue Details

Velvary Cricket Ground is a small ground and the artificially laid surface makes it difficult for the batsmen to negotiate the pace and the bounce on this surface. This has always been an advantage for the fast bowlers. Spinners find it tough to turn the ball given the lack of rough surface.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch and the outfield would be moist and in the tournament so far teams opting to field have gone onto win more games. Hence the captain winning the toss shall most likely decide to bowl first on this surface and look to keep the opposition to a low total.
