The pitch at the Cartama Oval, Cartama will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on the surface. The surface will not allow a lot of assistance to the bowlers and wicket taking is going to be difficult. The average 1st innings score at this venue in the last 20 matches is 130 runs. The team batting first at this venue has won 55% of its matches, so the toss does not make much of a difference here. The team winning the toss may decide to bat or bowl depending on the ground conditions today.
Temperature will hover around 23.3 °C and humidity is expected to be around 69%. Winds at a speed of 2.21 m/s are expected. Cloud cover is expected, so expect some movement to aid the pace bowlers.
The pacers have been very successful at this venue. They have taken 100% of the total wickets at this venue. We would suggest that you pick as many pace bowlers as possible in your team. Based on the stats available, we experts predict that the pitch will continue to assist the pacers.
In the 3 matches played between these 2 teams, batters of both teams have earned the most fantasy points for their respective teams so far.
