1^st Innings –

1. In the first 6 overs, wicket-fall possibility is on the higher side. 1-2 can fall. Scoring rate should be decent. Either the bowling side will dominate this period, or nobody will.
2. During overs 7 & 8, wicket-fall possibility will not reduce but the scoring rate can come down. The bowling side should dominate this period.
3. Between overs 9 & 20, wicket-fall possibility will reduce a little. The scoring rate will improve a little because some big hitting is expected after the 10^th over. The batting side will be at an advantage during most this period, even though they may lose a few wickets.
4. Since batsmen are likely to dominate half of the innings, it should be a higher than medium score. (160+)

Match Result – Close finish is likely. Team batting second will compete well. Prediction for the 2^nd inning is in the full prediction text.
