THAU-19W vs NEPU19-W Pitch Report

Shaxi Town Cricket Centre in Taicang is a good surface to bat on. The surface is good to bat on but we can’t expect a high-scoring game. The surface will get better in the 2nd innings. Powerplay remains crucial for both teams. Anything above 140 would be a winning total. 127 is the highest successful chase on this ground. Out of the previous five games on this ground, the first batting average score is 123. 

Score prediction: 

If Nepal U19 Women bat first - 105-110 runs 

If Thailand U19 Women bat first - 145-160 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five women’s T20s on this track, batting first sides won three times. Teams have comfortably chased down the totals if the score is less than 130. This pitch requires a sensible approach but acceleration in powerplay is crucial. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Nepal U19 Women to win the coin toss.
