Pitch Report

The pitch at the Indian Cement Company Ground will assist the spinners. They are going to come in handy in the middle overs with lots of turns available on the surface. The captain winning the toDD will look to chase the target, with 160 runs being a respectable total at the ground.

In recent games, the pitch has slowed down a bit, allowing bowlers to have more of an impact on the outcome. The new ball should do nothing early on,  and allow batters to get their gaze in and try out their favourite shots to accumulate good runs in the powerplay overs.

Match Prediction

The Royal Kings have done well in this tournament so far but the team has been heavily dependent on its batters. Their bowling guild has failed to deliver well and that will surely put enough pressure on the side. The Dragons on the other side, have a strong batting order and two highly skilled spinners on their deck. This might be a tight battle between the two but Dindigul Dragons have more chances of getting a victory in this match.
