Preview:

Only a handful of games remain in the Qatar T10 League 2019 as Flying Oryx faces the Falcon Hunters on Thursday. In spite of a rollicking start to their campaign, Flying Oryx is in the middle of the table with three points. On the other hand, Falcon Hunters come into this game on the back of a brilliant chase on Wednesday.

With the experienced duo of Salman Butt and Hashim Amla in their ranks, Falcon Hunters will fancy their chances of yet another win. While the Hunters’ ability to chase is undeniable, the Flying Oryx has a well-balanced side as well with Hussain Talat being critical to their cause. Nevertheless, both sides are in with a fighting chance with this being a must-win game for either side to strengthen their case for a semi-final place.

Weather Condition/Report:

The weather forecast is clear on Thursday with the temperature hovering around 21 degrees Celsius. Unlike that of Wednesday’s, a heavy cloud cover of 74% is expected with humid conditions are on the cards, according to AccuWeather. The conditions shouldn’t change too much during the course of the match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch has something in it for both the batsmen and bowlers with scores of around 100 being achieved on a consistent basis. Although the surface has a green look to it, uneven bounce has been a trademark with the pacers also opting for a change of pace. Chasing is the preferred option upon winning the toss with dew expected to play a major role.
