Pitch Report:
The surface at the Gaddafi probably favours the batters. The pitch has extra bounce and pace that are conducive to stroke play. There won’t be much swing to be found but spinners might have a big role to play, particularly in the middle overs. This will make chasing easier under lights meaning the toss will be key.
Weather Report:
The weather is expected to be clear and sunny, with humidity levels around 75-80%. There is no rain threat for the match.
