Pitch Report
The pitch tends to assist bowlers more than batters, as both pacers and spinners have picked up a handful of wickets in the last couple of games. The trend is expected to continue in this game too.
Also, the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first in this Hong Kong All-Star ODD.
