NOR vs SOU Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – National T20 Cup 2020, Match 19

Match Details:

The 19th match of the National T20 Cup 2020 will be played between Northern and Southern Punjab at the Pindi Club Ground in Rawalpindi.

The match is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM local time (3:30 PM IST)  (10:00 AM UTC).

Preview:

After winning five games on the trot, the Northern finally faltered in their previous game and bagged their first loss of the tournament. A change of venue for the second leg of the tournament didn’t seem to have worked in their favour. However, they are a quality side and have played some fabulous cricket this season. Northern are expected to bounce back as they take on Southern Punjab in their next match.

Southern Punjab haven’t had a great season thus far in the league. In five games, they managed to win just one which is a huge concern. It will require a very special effort from them if they are to challenge Northern. Northern go into this match as the clear favourites.
