Lions vs Titans Toss Prediction

At the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, the toss outcome generally leans toward captains choosing to bowl first in first-class matches. The pitch at Wanderers is known for its bounce and pace, favouring seamers, especially early in the game. Overhead conditions also impact toss decisions, as bowlers can exploit swing and movement in the morning session. Therefore, teams winning the toss often opt to take advantage of these early bowling conditions, aiming to restrict the opposition with an effective first innings.

Weather Report

Johannesburg’s weather on November 5 is expected to be warm with temperatures around 24–27°C (75–81°F) during the day, cooling to around 13–16°C (55–61°F) at night. November is the start of Johannesburg’s summer, so the likelihood of afternoon thunderstorms is high, providing some relief from the heat.
