The new ball might be effective in the competition. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 197. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play sensibly.
Score prediction:
If Tungbhadra bat first - 170-180 runs
If Rayalaseema bat first - 210-220 runs

Toss Prediction: Rayalaseema to win the coin toss.
Tungbhadra Warriors enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a superior T20 side. Defending champions lost two games out of five. We might see another classic batting performance in this game. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye to improve their position in the points table.
