OV vs AA Weather And Pitch Report
Factors | Expected Condition |
---|---|
Weather | Cloudy and Rainy |
Pitch | Batting Friendly |
Weather - According to AccuWeather, the weather will be full of clouds and not as warm; a morning shower in spots followed by a couple of soaking showers in the afternoon. The temperature will be in-between 24°C-12°C and there is 78% chance of rain during the game.
Pitch Report- The pitch at Molyneux Park in Alexandra is good for batters. In the initial overs, the fast bowlers get help from the bounce and movement of the pitch, which makes it difficult for the batsmen to score runs. But as the ball gets older, the batsmen start settling on the pitch and are able to play great shots. Spinners, though, might not find much joy on this surface, so it’ll be all about the pacers doing the damage. The toss might not be an important factor here, but skipper winning the toss might prefer to bat first on this ground.
