Prague Barbarians Vandals Preview

Pradeep Gangappa’s side suffered two defeats in the Championship weekend and this makes it tough for the side. They lost by 2 wickets against the Bohemian CC in the first game and then against the Brno Rangers by 7 wickets. Both these games went to the last ball and hence Gangappa would consider his side unlucky. They will need to play with positive intent to do well in this game.  
The side will expect a good start from Honey Gori and Sabawoon Davizi. Their failure in the two games cost the side the game. Divyendra Singh looks in good form with the bat and along with Gangappad and Uday Gali will need to do the scoring in the middle overs. Down the order Jahanur Hoque and Andrew Sim will need to free their arms and score quickly. 
Gori and Sabawoon Davizi bowled well in the two games but the rest of the attack was miserable with the ball. They failed to hold on to their nerves in the final moments of the game which led to their losses. The likes of Divyendra Singh, Uday Gali and Sagar Madhireddy will have to bowl tight spells in the next game.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies would be by and large clear over Prague on July 12 though there would be the odd clouds. The pitch looked an absolute beauty to bat on in the last four games with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. There is little room for error as far as the bowlers are concerned and the side that bats first shall be targeting a score of 100 runs. 

Venue Details

The small size of the Vinor Cricket Ground makes it ideal for batsmen to play their big strokes. The thick grass cover doesn’t allow too many boundaries to be scored here. Fast bowlers do enjoy assistance from the surface with the new ball but it has been a very tough wicket for the spinners to bowl on.   

Toss: To Bat

The pitch has looked good for batting in the four games that have been played in this Championship Weekend. In the last 12 games the sides that have batted first have won 10 games. Hence the captain winning the toss would have little hesitation in batting first on this wicket.
