Pitch Report
Pacers would love bowling on this wicket, as there is likely to be lateral movement in the first few overs. 160-180 runs could be a par first-innings score in Kowloon. Chasing teams might find it tough on this surface.
The captain winning the toss could opt to bat first and look to put the opposition under pressure. Nevertheless, in both innings, batsmen will need to spend some time in the middle before opening up to play their strokes.
