Pitch Report:
The pitch generally favours bowlers with raw pace as they can get good bounce and swing off the pitch. In the morning conditions, they can take advantage of the moisture with the new ball. The wicket tends to slow down, and the spinners will come into the game in the middle overs. If the batters have to get going, they will need to have tons of composure.
Weather Report:
The forecast predicts dry conditions with a high of 32°C, with around a 20% chance of precipitation during the day and roughly a 25% chance at night.
Fantasy XI Predictions:
Esha Oza, Shawaal Zulfiqar, Heena Hotchandani, Suraksha Kotte, Omaima Sohail, Theertha Satish, Anosha Nasir, Umm-e-Hani, Waheeda Akhtar, Vaishnave Mahesh, Syeda Masooma Zahra.
