Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a good one to bat on, with some extra bounce on offer for the bowlers. The batters will look to make full use of the powerplay restrictions before the pitch slows down a touch.
There isn't much turn on offer for the spinners, although extra bounce may play into their favour. Despite weather being a concern, we should get at least a curtailed game, with both teams likely to chase on winning the toss.
