LKK vs NRK Weather and Pitch Report
Pitch Report
Indian Cement Company Ground, Tirunelveli will give slower bowlers a good chance to shine. In early matches, batters might enjoy a flat surface but it’s likely to slow down as the match progresses. The average score in the first innings is around 160 here and we can expect the same trend this year too. Batters will look to make the most of the powerplay, as it’s the best time to score freely. However once the power play gets over, spinners are expected to take on the innings. The outfield will stay fast and the smaller boundaries will help the batters to get runs. Best on past record the captains winning the toss might prefer bowling first
