The surface of the HPCA Stadium provides advantage to the bowlers, especially the pacers. With ball movement early into the game, the power will surely play a crucial role for the bowling side. Choosing bowl first and chasing down the target could be a wise decision.

The maximum temperature will be hovering around 13 degrees, far better from 37 degrees in Mumbai on Saturday. There will be 74 percent cloud cover as well.
