Temperatures will range from a minimum of 15°C to a maximum of 29°C. The pitch is anticipated to be flat, favoring batsmen with consistent bounce, though pacers may find some swing early on. The toss-winning captain might opt to bowl first, considering past matches where fast bowlers performed well.
