PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

 Kerava is expected to have the temperature in the range of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. No rain is forecasted on the match day and we will get a full quota of 40 overs easily.   

Venue Details

Kerava Stadium was on the slower side last night and the players struggled to time the ball easily. Bowlers will look to use their variations such as cutters and slower-ones to great use in this pitch. We can expect average scores in the range of 140-160 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option as the pitch is untested and no score is safe nowadays due to bigger bats and smaller outfields.
