Pitch and Conditions

The venue will host the first game of this season. The pitch behaved differently in the last season. While the first one was a low-scoring game, the second one saw 170 runs being chased down. However, the team who batted second won both the matches. The rain can be a spoilsport in this match. The weather will be cloudy during the match. If it rains, the DLS method might play a key role as well.
