Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Udayana Cricket Ground in Bali assists bowlers more. This is a slow surface, and batters won’t find it easy to time the ball once the new ball becomes soft. Seamers and spinners will be useful here. Both teams will look to maximize the powerplay overs, as batting will become difficult after that.

The weather in Bali will be mostly cloudy and humid. There is a forecast of some thunderstorms in the afternoon, but since this is a morning fixture, we should get a complete match. 

INDO vs MMR Pitch Report

The average first inning score at the Udayana Cricket Ground is 126. This isn’t a high-scoring venue, as the highest-ever total posted at the ground is Cambodia’s 157-2 while chasing against Indonesia in 2023. The team batting first will be looking to set a target of around 130-140 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

This venue favors the chasing side. 13 of the 21 T20Is played here have been won by the side chasing, including the previous three matches of this series. Thus, both captains will look to field first in this game.
