The match is scheduled to be played at Sanatana Dharma College Ground, Alappuzha. No test or first class cricket matches have been held at this venue before. Among the T20 matches, the average score batting first has been 118 runs. Batting first does not seem to be the optimal decision at the venue. It appears likely that the toss winner of the upcoming match could elect to field first.
