Pitch Report

This will be the very first match on this ground. The 1st innings score at Church Street Park in Morrisville has a 1st innings score of 160 runs. The pitch should be nice and hard and the captain choosing to bat instruct his team to score over 180 runs to keep enough drawer for their bowlers. 

This is a true sporting wicket which provides equal chances for both the batters and bowlers. The Pacers will do exceptionally well in this venue. We expect the weather to be clear but a little bit warmer than the other days.

Match Prediction

SFU must put enough runs on the scoreboard to win. Their batting guild has been inconsistent, and it has been the biggest disadvantage for the side. Their bowlers will also need to stand up with the ball against TSK’s powerful batting line-up. TSK are a much stronger side have a strong batting order and also have an experienced bowling attack, which makes them the favourites to win this match.
