In both the matches this season, all teams have scored over 160 and we can expect another high-scoring game once again, given the firepower both teams have at their disposal. The wicket share is pretty even between pacers (52.2%) and spinners (47.8%). With dew coming in later, the captain winning the toss will be tempted to bowl first.
According to Weather.com, there is zero chance of rains interrupting play. It's expected to warm during the day, with temperatures hitting 34 degrees celcius, but it will hover around 26-29 during the match.
