PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

East London will be a slightly slower surface and at times may be double paced with variable bounce on the track owing to the used nature. East London will have bright and sunny weather with no weather interruptions expected on the match day.

Venue Details

East London will have a good outfield with ball flying to the boundaries off the bat. We expect the average scores to be around 150-160 runs in the match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing has been the most preferred option in the T20 matches off late and we expect both captains to continue their trend in this match too.
