Weather Conditions

There will be clear skies over Coimbatore, and we shall have a good game. The wicket would have some assistance for the fast bowlers, and batsmen will likely find it challenging during the game. A score of 170 runs would be a good total in this high-pressure game.

Venue Details

SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore, is a small ground with short boundaries. The ball comes to the bat nicely on this flat surface. Fast bowlers have done well here, and we expect to see them do well in this game. Spinners get the ball to turn, but they have little margin for error due to the small size of the ground.

Toss: To Bowl

Most teams have won the toss and decided to field in this venue. There will be assistance for the bowlers as the wicket is fresh. It will get better as the game progresses. Thus, the side winning the toss shall look to bowl first on this track and aim at dismissing the opposition for a small total.
