PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

London has 20% chances of rain as per the weather forecasters and we expect it won’t make a big impact in the game.

Venue Details

Keninngton Oval pitch has been a little two-paced with it behaving differently in last two matches. We expect scores around 160-170 runs in the match. Batsmen will find it hard due to the slow nature of the pitch.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option with a mysterious pitch which went for just 230 runs combined tally last match.
