The batters will have to settle in before playing their shots. The average first innings score here is around 140-150 runs. Teams may prefer chasing. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

  • Spinners from second innings will be important. 
  • Scorchers' pace attack can pick up a few wickets in this game. Don't drop them.
