𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​Delhi Capitals Women vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 17, Monday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Kotambi Cricket Stadium Vadodara, India, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals Women have the upper hand when it comes to their head-to-head record against Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women in the WPL – they’ve won four out of the five matches these teams have played against each other. Delhi Capitals Women vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DCW vs RCBW Match Prediction & Analysis The fourth match of the 2025 Women’s Premier League sets up an exciting battle between Delhi Capitals Women and Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women at Kotambi Stadium. This matchup is a rematch of last year’s final, adding extra intensity to an already competitive fixture. Both teams opened their campaigns with a victory and will be aiming to carry that momentum forward. Bengaluru, the reigning champions, appear to have a slightly better squad on paper, which could give them a small advantage heading into this contest. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals Women opened their campaign with a tense two-wicket win over Mumbai Indians Women. Chasing a target of 165, they reached the finish line off the final delivery. Shafali Verma set the tone with an explosive 43 off just 18 balls, while Niki Prasad provided stability with a steady 35 off 33. Heading into their next match, the team will rely on key players like Meg Lanning, Annabel Sutherland, and Jemimah Rodrigues to deliver with the bat. Alice Capsey and Sarah Bryce are also capable of turning the game in their favor. On the bowling side, Shikha Pandey was outstanding in the opener, finishing with figures of 2-14 in four overs. Annabel Sutherland also impressed, picking up 3-34. Arundhati Reddy and Minnu Mani add depth to the attack and could play a key role in upcoming games. Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women started their season on a winning note, edging out Gujarat Giants Women by six wickets by chasing down a huge target of 202 in just 18.3 overs. Richa Ghosh played a blistering unbeaten knock of 64 from 27 deliveries, while Ellyse Perry contributed a steady 57 off 34. Captain Smriti Mandhana failed in the first game but she has been in sensational form over the last few months and we are backing her to get a big score here. Middle-order support from all-rounder Georgia Wareham along with Raghvi Bist will also be key.  With the ball, Renuka Singh led from the front in their opener, returning excellent figures of 2-25 from four overs. Kanika Ahuja was also effective, claiming 1-19 from three. Bengaluru also have the likes of Kim Garth and Georgia Wareham as reliable options in the middle overs. Weather Conditions The Kotambi Stadium typically offers a balanced pitch. Under lights, the surface retains decent pace and bounce. The dew factor comes into play during evening matches, which can make bowling second challenging as the ball tends to get slippery. The outfield is quick and well-maintained. Spinners find some grip early in the game, but the pitch becomes better for batting as the match progresses. The weather in Vadodara will be warm with clear skies and no chances of rain. DCW vs RCBW Pitch Report Teams batting first at the Kotambi Stadium usually put up scores between 170-180 runs. The ground’s batting-friendly nature was clear in this season’s opener, where both teams smashed past 200 runs. The pitch tends to stay true throughout the game, which explains why we see such high totals here. Toss: To Bowl Both games played at the Kotambi Stadium in this season of the Women’s Premier League have been won by the chasing side. It is hence likely that both teams will look to field first in this game.

Gujarat Giants Women vs UP Warriorz Women, WPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Gujarat Giants Women vs UP Warriorz Women​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 16, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Kotambi Cricket Stadium Vadodara, India, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Premier League, 2025 UP Warriorz’s aim to extend their good record against the Giants  Gujarat Giants Women vs UP Warriorz Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. GGW vs UPW Match Prediction & Analysis The Women’s Premier League 2025 has got off to an electrifying start. In the 3rd game, the Gujarat Giants Women will face the UP Warriorz Women. The Giants Women have started the season with a loss, going down against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women in the first game. The UP Warriorz Women will look to make a strong start as they begin their cam-paign in the tournament.  The Gujarat Giants Women will be under pressure after their poor show with the ball in the last game. They have a poor record against the UP Warriorz Women, which will be on their minds. The UP Warriorz Women have a strong batting lineup and depth in their bowling. It will be interesting to see if the Giants can get their acts together. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Giants Preview Ashleigh Gardner will be upset with the 6-wicket loss against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game. They performed well with the bat, putting up 201 runs on the board, but the bowlers failed to defend it. Gardner expects a better show from her bowlers in this game and earns their first points for the season.  Beth Mooney looked good in the last game and must deliver a good start with Laura Wolvaardt. Ashleigh Gardner played an electrifying knock and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Dayalan Hemalatha and Deandra Dottin. Simran Shaikh and Harleen Deol add firepower to the batting.  The bowling attack looked rusty in the last game, and they must improve their show. The team needs early wickets from Ashleigh Gardner and Kashvee Gautam with the new ball. Deandra Dottin must use her experience and do well in the middle overs with Tanuja Kanwar. Sayali Satghare and Priya Mishra must do well in the supporting role. UP Warriorz Preview Deepti Sharma takes over the team’s captaincy this season and will look to make a good start. They didn’t do well last season despite individual promises from some players. Sharma would like her players to draw inspiration from their good record against the Giants and start the season with a big win.   Chamari Athapaththu is an attacking player and is looking to deliver a strong start in this game with Kiran Navgire. The middle order is formidable, and the team expects partnerships between Deepti Sharma, Tahila McGrath, and Grace Harris. Uma Chetry, Grace Harris, and Poonam Khemnara add strength to the lineup and must do well.   Gouher Sultana and Saima Thakor must use the new ball to their advantage as the Giants Women have good hitters at the top. Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma are experienced bowlers, and the team expects a strong show from them in the middle overs. Athapaththu, McGrath, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Harris add depth to the attack. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Vadodara and good conditions. The track would be good to bat, where batters can easily play their strokes. There isn’t much on this wicket for the bowlers. The average first-innings score at this venue is 157 runs. The side batting first would like more than 180 runs on the board. GGW vs UPW Pitch Report Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, is a great venue for T20 cricket. This venue sees high-scoring games. Batters can play fearlessly as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers must bring out their variations to do well here, and the spinners enjoy good support from the wicket.  Toss: To Bowl In the last two seasons of the tournament, most of the teams chasing the score have won games. Bowling in the second half with the dew setting is always challenging. The side win-ning the toss won’t hesitate to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland​ ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 16, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 Can Ireland make a comeback against hosts Zimbabwe to level the series 1-1?  Zimbabwe vs Ireland​ TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Zimbabwe made a brilliant start to the ODIs after their setback to their loss in tests. They will look to continue their momentum with another victory in this match and win this series. Ireland have been beaten comprehensively in the first ODI but will look to make a comeback in the next match. They will take confidence from their victory in their recent encounters.  TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe made a competitive total of 299/5 in their 50 overs. Brian Bennett was their star performer with 169 runs in 163 balls. Their top order batters Craig Ervine (66 runs) and Ben Curran (28 runs) made good starts and continued the momentum to make a big score. Their middle order kept losing wickets as no player crossed 20-run mark outside top-3.  Their bowlers bundled out the opposition for just 250 runs. Blessing Muzurbani (4/51) and Richard Ngarva (3/56) took 7 wickets between them and should stop the opposition line up from scoring runs effectively. Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza chipped in with a wicket each in the match.  Ireland Preview Ireland batters were bundled out for just 250 runs in the match. Curtis Campher top scored with 44 runs while Stirling, Harry Tector, L Tucker, and G Dockrell got starts but failed to carry on the momentum and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.  Their bowlers gave 299 runs in their 50 overs. Mark Adair, Andy McBrine and Hume took a wicket each in the match. Joshua little was very expensive last game while Mathew Humphrey bowled a decent spell.  Weather Conditions Harare is expected to have slightly overcast conditions on the match day with some rain possibility. But we expect only small intermittent delays in the match.  ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report Toss: To Bowl Both teams will look to chase down the total here as the pitch will remain the same throughout the match.

Oman vs Namibia, ICCCWCLT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Oman vs Namibia𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 16, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1) 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Only four points separate Oman and Namibia before they meet in Al Amerat on Sunday morning. Oman have won four of their last five ODIs.Namibia have lost three of their last five ODIs.Namibia have won three of the last four head to heads, including last Monday! Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. OMA vs NAM Match Prediction & Analysis When these two sides met last Monday, it was Namibia who came out on top, winning by 23 runs, but since that game they have both had differing results against USA which makes this fixture particularly hard to call. Oman beat USA by seven wickets with 25 balls remaining to maintain their strong recent form, whereas Namibia reverted to their poor form, losing by 70 runs on Friday, and their victory over Oman now looks like somewhat of an outlier! TEAMS PREVIEW Oman Preview There will be plenty of self-belief and confidence in the Oman dressing room ahead of this game after they putt in a brilliant performance to see off USA on Wednesday in Al Amerat. Not for the first time in his career, it was captain Jatinder Singh who stepped up and hit over half of the required 152 runs as he finished unbeaten on 82 not out from 127 balls. Getting the runs inside 50 overs was never going to be the issue for Oman who were able to take their time although Wasim Ali showed more aggression than most and could be the one to carry the attack to the Namibian bowlers this time around. With the ball, Shakeel Ahmed was the standout performer on Wednesday as he returned figures of 4/26 from his 9.1 overs, but Jay Odedra was not far behind, sending down two maidens as part of his figures of 3/23 from seven! Namibia Preview Considering the amount of experience in this Namibian outfit, they would have been very disappointed to come off the pitch on Friday after having lost by 70 runs to the USA. There would also have been an additional feeling of misery in the side as it came so soon after they had made other teams stand up and take notice of them following their win over Oman! After taking 5/22 in defeat, slow left-arm orthodox bowler Bernard Scholtz is likely to be key in this game. That five wicket haul followed fiigures of 2/26 and 3/47 in his two previous matches so we expect him to bowl with control and disguise. Zane Green starred with the bat against USA, hitting 65 runs from 90 balls, but overall the returns with the bat have disappointed across this tour. For instance, in the last head to head with Oman, none of the team went past 39, something they will need to improve on in this game. Weather Conditions The forecast is for a beautiful day in Al Amerat throughout this game. By mid-morning the sun will be shining proudly and the temperature will already be up and above 28 degrees. OMA vs NAM Pitch Report This venue has a pitch which does not allow the ball to come onto the bat at a great pace. There is turn for the spinners as well so a par score is likely to be no higher than 190-200. Toss: To Bowl With teams winning when batting first and bowling first in Al Amerat over recent days, we think this could be a tough call at the toss. The bowlers have generally been on top though so our prediction is for both teams to want to bowl first.

Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women, WPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 15, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Kotambi Cricket Stadium Vadodara, India, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Premier League, 2025 Mumbai Indians take on the runners-up from last season Mumbai Indians Women vs Delhi Capitals Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MIW vs DCW Match Prediction & Analysis Mumbai Indians Women were knocked out in the Eliminator last year. They will begin their Women’s Premier League 2025 season at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara against Delhi Capitals. The Capitals lost in the Final against RCB Women after being bowled out for 113 runs batting first. It was a pretty one-sided affair. Both teams have retained most of their key players from last season. Some of the major squad changes are Nadine de Klerk joining MI Women while DC Women welcome Sarah Bryce to their squad for this season. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Harmanpreet Kaur and co. are all set to kick off their WPL 2025 campaign. They will be up against Delhi Capitals Women in their opening match in Vadodara. This squad is dominated by all-rounders. It gives the skipper a lot of bowling options in the side to choose from. Amelia Kerr and Nat Sciver-Brunt are key players in the middle order along with the skipper. The middle-order packs a lot of strength while the West Indies captain Hayley Matthews brings experience and the ability to play long innings at the top. This is one of the best batting lineups in WPL. Delhi Capitals Preview It was a disappointing end to DC Women’s 2024 WPL campaign. They were completely outplayed by the opposition. Meg Lanning will be looking for a winning start to this season. The Capitals have retained most of their key batters. With Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and the skipper herself, DC have a strong top order. Much like the opposition, Delhi Capitals Women also have a star-studded batting lineup. At number 4, there is Alice Capsey, a reliable middle-order batter who’s consistently scored impactful knocks for England. She is followed by bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp who can score quick runs at the death and help DC Women finish on a high. The batting order will mostly look like the previous season. Weather Conditions It will be sunny with a high of 33 degrees Celsius in Vadodara on the match day. The temperature would drop around 26 degrees by the time of the match and the skies will be clear with no signs of cloud or rain. MIW vs DCW Pitch Report There is not much known about this pitch since only a few games were played here. The ODIs were high-scoring with the average 1st innings score in 3 matches being 278 runs. And though the T20 game was a low-scoring affair, we believe this will be a high-scoring match. Toss: To Bowl Though the team batting first won the solitary T20 match played here, we believe bowling first would be a better option in this match. Both teams have great depth in their batting lineup and chasing a total will be a better option for them. The playing conditions are also likely to help the chasing team.

New Zealand vs Pakistan, POT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs Pakistan 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 14, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : National Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex, Karachi, Pakistan, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Final ODI 2025 In New Zealand’s last match against Pakistan in this tri-series, Glenn Phillips smashed an incredible unbeaten 106 off 74 balls. New Zealand vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand and Pakistan will face off in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series final this Friday night in Karachi. The Kiwis have been the most dominant side in the tournament, coming into this match with back-to-back victories and plenty of confidence. Pakistan, on the other hand, may not have been flawless, but their familiarity with local conditions could work in their favor. With home support behind them, they won’t be easy to beat. That said, New Zealand look like the team to beat, making this final a thrilling battle between momentum and home advantage. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have been the standout team in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, securing a spot in the final after easing past both Pakistan and South Africa. They started strong with a commanding 78-run victory over the hosts before dismantling the Proteas by six wickets. With the title now within reach, New Zealand will aim to wrap up the series on a high. Kane Williamson has been the backbone of the batting lineup, racking up 191 runs in just two innings, including a century and a half-century. Daryl Mitchell has chipped in with 91 runs at an aggressive strike rate of 96.80, providing stability in the middle order. Pakistan Preview Pakistan didn’t get off to the best start in this tri-series, falling to New Zealand in their opening match. However, they responded well with a strong performance against South Africa, chasing down a huge total of 355 with one over to spare. That impressive win secured their place in the final. With home conditions on their side, they will look to carry that momentum into the title decider. Fakhar Zaman has been a key player at the top of the order, amassing 125 runs across two innings with a strike rate of 129. Salman Agha has also played a steady role, adding 174 runs from two innings, including a sublime 134 in the previous match against South Africa. Mohammad Rizwan too was among the runs in the last match, scoring a terrific unbeaten 122 to take his team home. His presence will give the batting order much-needed stability. The middle order remains an area of strength, with Tayyab Tahir and Khushdil Shah adding an aggressive touch when required. Weather Conditions The National Stadium in Karachi presents a balanced pitch with a slight inclination towards pace bowlers. The surface offers initial movement for seamers, especially in the first hour. As the game progresses, spinners will find increasing assistance with some turn and bounce. Batsmen can expect a fair batting track with good bounce, but they’ll need to apply themselves carefully. The pitch generally supports a competitive and exciting cricket match. The weather in Karachi will be very warm but clear. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The average score batting first at the National Stadium in Karachi is 244. The highest total posted here is India’s 374-4 versus Hong Kong in the 2008 Asia Cup. We reckon a score of around 280-300 will be challenging in the final. Toss: To Bat Since this is the final, both teams are likely to prefer to bat first as that’s the safer bet in such a high-pressure game on a good wicket.

Jan Frylink will come at number three. Frylink has 307 runs in 12 innings with two half-centuries. He has 119 runs in the last 6 ODIs against The USA.

Sri Lanka vs Australia, SL vs AUS 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs Australia 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 14, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo, Sri Lanka 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 After being thrashed in the Tests, Sri Lanka can get revenge with a 2-0 ODI series win on offer on Friday! Sri Lanka vs Australia TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis The opening game of the series on Thursday was a great contest to watch or follow as a neutral and this clash in Colombo could well be the same on Friday! Initially the game looked guaranteed to go the same way as the Tests which had seen Australia easily win 2-0, and when the hosts were 4/1, 6/2. 31/4 and 55/5, another home defeat looked on the cards. That was before an exceptional innings from Charith Asalanka took his team to 214 all out, a total which their talented spin bowling attack were able to successfully defend. Australia will be hurting following that loss and will be desperate to get a win to take some ODI momentum into the ICC Champions Trophy. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview It is very rare for an ODI side to see three of their top four dismissed for single figure scores yet still going on to win a game by 49 runs but that is exactly what Sri Lanka achieved in Thursday’s match. They will take confidence from that achievement into this game but they can not rely on their skipper, Charith Asalanka to dig them out of the hole again after he brilliantly made 127 runs from 126 balls in their total of 214! The likes of Kamindu Mendis and opener Pathum Nissanka will both be expected to deliver more on Friday. Australia Preview Although this Australian side is without all three of their first choice pace bowling options, only a fool would right them off in this game as they have an in-built ability to bounce back in any format from adversity! We saw this in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when they looked dead and buried after being thrashed in the opening Test but went on to inflict an easy series defeat on India and with the likes of Steven Smith, Alex Carey and Adam Zampa in the side, they will be no pushovers. Young players like Jake Fraser-McGurk and Cooper Connolly are still finding their feet but could easily produce a fluent innings with the bat in this game. Weather Conditions There could be some cloud cover at times during this game in Colombo but overall it will be very hot with the temperature ranging from 26 degrees to 32 degrees across the ODI on Friday. SL vs AUS Pitch Report The ball always turns at this venue in Colombo and we will see plenty of grip for the spinners as well as the pace bowlers with their cutters. We predict a par total of no more than 280 for the team batting first. Toss: To Bat Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first in the opening ODI and went on to win the game. On a pitch which will not get quicker, we expect both teams to want to bat first once more.

QSL vs NSW Match Prediction & Analysis With six games of the group stage remaining, which equates to two matches per team, New South Wales and Queensland are both in the mix for a top two place.  New South Wales, top of the table on 16 points, are in pole position but are only three points ahead of Victoria in third place. Two points further back are Queensland so the result of this game in Brisbane will provide quite the ripple in the top four! This will be Queensland’s first game in the tournament since December, when they beat Tasmania following a victory over South Australia, and they will need to hit the ground running once again as New South Wales were far too good for Tasmania when they met last week. TEAMS PREVIEW Queensland Preview With experienced spinner and Queensland captain Mitchell Swepson overlooked for Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka, we could well see the same XI selected for the hosts as seen against Tasmania in December! Queensland’s hopes of posting a big total or chasing down a large target are likely to rest with the opening pair of Ben McDermott and keeper-batter Jimmy Peirson alongside the experienced Matt Renshaw at number four. Liam Guthrie and Gurinder Sandhu both have the ability to make valuable runs down the order as well. With the ball, the aforementioned Swepson will prioritise getting through his overs with a low economy rate and we expect Liam Guthrie along with Tom Whitney to be the main strike-bowling threats. New South Wales Preview New South Wales always have a deep squad of talent irrespective of the format and even with Australia’s Test tour of Sri Lanka ending recently along with the ICC Champions Trophy about to resume, they will still be able to field a very strong XI at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. The visitors boast a free-scoring top six and it was Moises Henriques at five with Oliver Davies at six who took the team to victory with 11.3 overs to spare in their last game. Josh Philippe only knows one way to play the game, in an aggressive manner, whereas Nic Maddinson and Matthew Gilkes are likely to play in a more conservative manner. Henriques has been in excellent form with both bat and ball, taking 2/31 from eight overs in the last game, and Ben Dwarshuis seems to excel at every level in each format at the moment! Weather Conditions According to the weather forecast, there could be some rain around at the toss and during the first 60 minutes of the game. After that, the humidity levels will reduce and a sunny afternoon will arrive. QSL vs NSW Pitch Report The Allan Border Field is synonymous with a good batting surface and we expect more of the same in this game. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 330. Toss: To Bowl On a pitch which could tire a little as the game progresses, we predict that both sides will come to this game wanting to bat first at the Allan Border Field on Thursday.
