Pitch Report
The surface in Doha is pretty good for batting as the previous game at this venue saw the batters enjoy their stay once they got their eye in. The pitch does have some assistance for the fast bowlers and the team winning the toss would be inclined to bat first at this venue.

Probable best performers from INM vs WOG
Probable best batter: Gautam Gambhir
The India Maharajas skipper rolled back the years in the opening game of the tournament after registering a brisk half-century. However, the former Indian opener’s innings went in vain as his side failed to topple the opposition’s score in a hard-fought contest. The southpaw will be looking to continue his good run with the bat in the upcoming fixture.
Probable best bowler: Stuart Binny
Stuart Binny might not be the most eye-catching cricketer on view in the tournament but the medium pacer showcased his worth in his side’s campaign opener against the Asia Lions. He was the best bowler for his side, conceding just 22 runs in his four overs and dismissing two batters in his spell.
