Pitch Report

The pitch will be a balanced one with some help for the pacers with the new ball and spinners also getting some purchase as the game progresses. Batters, once set, will be in for a big score. All-rounders and death bowlers will be a must in your fantasy teams. Scores in the range of 150-170 are expected and teams may prefer chasing as there are high chances of rain in this game.

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

There are high chances of rain in this game so we may get a shortened game. 

  • Death bowlers from the first innings and top order batters from both teams will be a must in your fantasy teams as they'll get most opportunities in case of a shortened game. 
  • Spinners from the 2nd innings will be important. Try them in GLs. 
  • New ball bowlers from the second innings may get some help off the deck.
