North West vs Lions Toss Prediction
The pitch provides a fair balance for both batsmen and bowlers. It has good bounce, which encourages aggressive shot-making. However, it doesn't offer much seam movement, making it less favourable for swing bowlers. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to deteriorate, making it advantageous to bat second at this venue. Out of the 19 ODIs played here, 11 went in favour of the team batting second while 8 went in favour of the team batting first. The average first innings score here is 256 runs. This season, two games have been hosted here and both ended in favour of the team batting second. Hence, we predict the skipper winning the toss to bowl first.
