Weather Report
We are expecting temperatures in the region of 25 degrees for this game. We may likely get some cloud cover during the match which will be helpful to the fast bowlers. They might be able to extract some pace from the wicket and add some extra swing to it. There are not many chances of rain during the game and we are likely to get a sunny day most of the time in Kowloon.
Pitch Report
The cricket ground in Kowloon gives the players a pitch that is helpful to the batters. However, the quicker bowlers can enjoy the conditions here especially in the initial overs of the game when the ball is new. This is because of the pace and bounce available on the track. However, if the batter settles down, she can look to play her shots at the venue.
