Match Details

Pitch Report

The Providence Stadium pitch will assist batters at the start and spinners might come into play as the pitch turns slow in the second half of the game. On the other hand, pacers will find relatively less bounce here. Therefore, they will have to depend on bowling the tight lines. Having said it, the Captain winning the toss in the final of the tournament will look to bowl first with an aim to have the target in sight. As a result, this will aid the team batting second to have a calculated run chase.

Head-to-Head Record

The upcoming encounter will be only the second time these sides will be facing each other. Victoria emerged victorious in the first face-off in the ongoing inaugural Global Super League competition.
