Pitch
The wicket is not too favorable for strokes. In the three ladies’ T20Is that have been played at this arena, none of the teams have passed the 100-race limit. The cloudy conditions can help bowlers, especially fast bowlers. Teams that are second have won all three matches.
Weather
The weather is expected to be mostly cloudy and may get a rain shower. The average temperature will be around 14 degrees Celsius. There will be 90 percent cloud cover and 80 percent chance of rain. The wind will be blowing from the north-northwest.
