Toss Prediction
The captain who wins the toss at Senwes Park could choose to bowl first. Teams batting second hold a slightly better overall record at this ground in ODIs. The pitch plays well throughout and does not deteriorate much, so chasing a known target remains a smart option. However, for a day-night game, the toss winner may also think about batting first to avoid dew in the second innings. Overall, expect the toss winner to lean towards bowling first and chasing the target under lights.
