Sujith Gowda and Ammad Alam missed out in the last game, and the team needs a strong start from the pair.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect clear skies over Florida. The wicket has been good to bat on so far in the tournament. The batsmen who spend time at the crease do well, and the bowlers have little margin for error in the game. A score of 170 plus runs would be a fighting total on this surface.

NJT vs MAV Pitch Report

Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida, is a good venue as there is something for the batsmen and bowlers. The boundaries are short, but the wicket assists the fast bowlers in the early overs. Spinners have done well on this surface, and its slowness helps them.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score has won nine times in the 15 games. We have had a good batting surface where teams can chase big scores. The toss will be crucial in the game, and the team winning it shall look to bowl first.
