PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

York is expected to have cloudy and dark gloomy weather on the match day with high chances of rain making its appearance during the course of the game.

Venue Details

YCC is a good pitch to bat on with the ball coming onto the bat nicely but the overcast conditions might aid the bowlers with good swing and seam movement with the new ball. We expect the average scores to be around 240-260 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option in the limited over formats as teams are unsure of the safe target and very comfortable pacing their innings based on the target available.
