Pitch & Weather Report

This venue is a good surface to bat where the ball comes onto the bat nicely. We have seen big scores at this venue in the past. Seamers don't find surface assistance and must rely on their variations. Spinners have had a good record as the ball tends to grip the surface and stop on the batters.

Bowl first and chase the score have been the mantra for most sides this season in the league. The wickets have been good, and sides have fancied their chances while chasing scores. Hence, we see the side winning the toss here opt for bowling first. To feel safe, the side batting first in this game would look for a score near the 180-run mark.

The maximum temperature will remain at 30°C, with a low of 26°C with 50% humidity, and a wind speed of 21 Km/hr for the 17th Match, the Women's IND T20 on Mar 20 between GUJ-W vs UP-W.
