Pitch Report:
Low scoring matches are the current trend at the Emerald High School, with spinners finding turn to exploit against the hapless batsmen. Top order batsmen are key to their respective team's cause as stroke play becomes increasingly difficult as the game progresses.

Wicket-keeper: Rohit Motwani is the preferred choice with Ishan Kishan uncertain to play the match. Motwani has been in good form since returning to the playing XI and should bring in some vital points.
