The pitch is a batting paradise and if batsmen give a little to themselves, they can pile on huge totals. The 174 run total on the first day of the tournament by Vienna Afghans CC might have been enough to prove about the affinity of this pitch towards batsmen.
According to AccuWeather, the forecast looks omnious as heavy rains and thundershowers are predicted throughout the day. With 56 percent chance of precipitation predicted, the teams will be optimistic that rain-gods stay away.
The teams had a miserable day yesterday as they both lost the two matches played. Austria CC would have been dejected after being taken to the cleaners when Vienna Afghans piled a mammth 174 runs against them. They will need to forget yesterday's memory and start afresh as the prospect of making to the knockouts is still fresh and very much in sight.

Second game of the day and Austria CC will take on Indian CC. The two teams did not have a good start yesterday and will be looking to make some amends. Both are yet to open the account in the points table and therefore this is the ideal opportunity to get off the blocks and remain in contention for the knockout spot.
That's all we have now for this match as I, Lavil Saldanha and my comrade, Sameer Deodhar sign off. Do keep checking Sportskeeda for all latest cricket related news and live match commentaries. Until next time, it is goodbye from our side. GOODBYE!!
What a win for Indian Vienna CC as they beat Austria CC Wien by 4 wickets. After bowling first, they restricted ACW to 88 runs in 10 overs. Cut to the second innings, they scored 26 runs in 3 overs. They lost wickets at regular intervals, courtesy some fine bowling from S. Subhash and L Kasthuri as they picked a wicket each and conceded at only 7 per over. But D. Zadran and A, Ghani joined forces and scored 24 and 29 runs respectively to help beat Austria CC Wein by a margin of 4 wickets.
