PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Worcester weather looks bright and sunny on the match day and we expect no rain interruptions in the match.

Venue Details

Worcester has been a low scoring venue in this season so far. The ball is keeping low and the pitch is slow as the batsmen struggle to time the ball. The scores have been around 130-150 runs at this venue.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option as the teams will be unaware of the conditions early on. The early moisture in the pitch might aid bowlers with some movement in the first 5-6 overs of the match.
