The pitch so far has been extremely conducive for the bowlers as the teams haven't been able to muster up big totals. The average score on this pitch has been 122 and that speaks volumes about the pitch's character. The batters really need to dig in deep if they want to tee-off in the latter part of the inning! Seeing the new ball off patiently is the key to score on this pitch.
According to Accuweather, will be a partly cloudy day with high levels of humidity. The maximum temperature will be around the 30 degree centigrade mark.
Twiga Titans has looked one of the most compact teams in the tournament and will be looking to oust low-on-confidence Simba Kings. Key players like Jatinkumar Darji and Faraj Athumani will have to come of age and deliver the goods for Titans side.

Simba Kings were beaten by Chui Challengers in their last game and therefore the confidence will not be exactly sky high when the players come into this match. The Twiga Titans have their opening here and it will be looking to exploit it to its advantage.
