Match Prediction
There are chances that the team defending in the second innings will face dew effect, that might benefit the chasing team. A target of 180+ can be chased as well as defended on this pitch with attacking bowling and powerful hitting.
Super Giants have an upper hand with the tough side in the team and can win the match if they chase in the second innings. While batting first, the team might look forward to score a high total between 175-190 runs or more. A target set lower than this will incline towards DC winning the side due to their depth in batting line-up and dew playing a factor.
