Mission Road Ground has hosted 4 ODIs, with teams batting first winning 3 of them. The average first-innings score is 243, while teams batting second have averaged 170 runs. So, batting first looks like the better option at this venue.

Pakistan Association of Hong Kong also chose to bat first when these two sides last met here. The pitch tends to offer more help to the bowlers as the game goes on, so batters will need to make the most of the early overs and build a good total.
