Pitch and Weather Report

The batting-friendly strip on the Lucknow and Gujarat match here produced a run aggregate of over 370-380 runs, which was encouraging. The weather forecast for the night encounter is good and there should be no interruption throughout for the 21st match in the IND T20 league. Low-scoring affairs are common here given the slow-ish decks and huge boundary dimensions on offer. We can expect a good match in this Super Sunday's special bout.
