Match Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

West Indies colts defeated the hosts in the previous game by four wickets. They have all their bases covered in every respective department. In batting, Kelvin Anderson, Leonardo Julien and Kimani Melius will be having the responsibility to pile some good runs for their side. Meanwhile, in bowling Ashmead Nedd and Jayden Seales have done their job quite impressively and the same would be expected from them in the upcoming clash.

Australia Under-19 had a great tournament so far except their defeat against India and West Indies in the semi-finals. They will look to avenge the loss of their previous defeat in ICC Under-19 World Cup. Tanveer Sangha has turned out to be the biggest positive, who has grabbed 15 wickets with one five-wicket haul and 2 four-wicket hauls. His performance will play a crucial role for Australia in the 5th Place Playoff match against West Indies Under-19.

Weather Condition/Report

The chances of a thunderstorm are quite high throughout the day. It might also affect the length of the match with the wind blowing a rate of 17 to 18 km/hr. The temperature is expected to hover between 16 and 25 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather. It will be a blessing for the fast bowlers to bowl in a cool atmosphere.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch at the Willowmoore Park is expected to go more in favour of batsmen than bowlers as per the stats. The fast bowlers will have to work hard in order to grab wickets throughout the game. Also, the spinners might get some turn but in the latter half of the match. The side winning the toss will most probably look to field first to be on the safer side.
