1^st Innings –

1. The first 3 overs seem to favour the bowling side. Wicket-fall possibility is fairly high during this time. The scoring rate should be average. Either the bowling side will dominate this period, or nobody will.
2. Between overs 4 & 7, wicket-fall possibility will remain on the higher side, yet the batting side is not likely to cower-down. Some big shots are expected and so the scoring rate will be average, at least. Either the batting side will dominate this period or nobody will.
3. Between overs 8 & 12, wicket-fall possibility will decrease. The scoring rate should be good. Either the batting side will dominate these overs, or nobody will.
4. Between overs 13 & 15, wicket-fall possibility will increase slightly. Scoring rate can fall with wickets. Despite the losses, the batting side should have a slight upper-hand during this period.
5. In the last 5 overs, wicket fall possibility will increase slightly because batsmen are likely to go after the bowling. The scoring rate will also go up. This period of play is likely to be dominated by the batsmen.
6. First innings score is likely to be between 165 and 185 runs.

Our Advise to the Team Batting First  – Keep wickets in hand during the first 7 overs, to boldly go after the bowling later.

Match Result – Team batting first has a slight advantage. Will it be enough? See the prediction for the 2^nd inning in the full prediction text.
