Pitch:
The pitch is generally batting-friendly, but the batters need to take time and settle in as the ball can be swinging early on in the innings, and the spinners will come into the game only when the ball gets softer and the pitch gets dried out.
Weather:
The forecast predicts dry conditions with a high of 34°C, with around a 5% chance of precipitation during the day and roughly a 5% chance at night.
