DHA vs SCA Pitch Report

The pitch at TB Shah Cricket Ground is still a challenging track where you need a sensible batting approach. We have seen low scoring affairs in the tournament. Even a score of 120 runs is enough on this track. Due to the morning game, we can expect a slow game. It is a decent T20 surface with the average 1st innings score around 125 runs. Anything above 125 can be a good total to defend. 

Toss: To Bowl

TB Shah Cricket Ground is a tough ground for the batting. Toss isn’t a big factor. It offers a balance between bat and ball. Still, batting first is always a best call as the pitch gets slow later in the game. Due to the behaviour of this pitch, teams should go for the batting first. Anything above 130 should be a winning total here. Runs on the board will give extra advantage to the toss winning sides.
