Preview:

Taiwan Dragons will be going into this clash being the more confident side among the two. The Dragons have had a better record in the competition, compared to the one of Titans. Titans would be looking to bounce back after losing their past two matches. They started their campaign with a great victory, however, their back to back losses have now raised a few questions within the team.

Dragons have won two out of their three matches, while Titans have won only one. Additionally, the last time when these two teams clashed off against each other, Dragons had won that match by 20 runs. Titans would want to avenge that loss and also make a comeback in this competition.

Weather Condition/Report:

The weather reports of the Songshan District doesn’t tell a great story. There are high chances of rain in the region on Sunday. It is needless to say that rain could affect the match completely. The temperature will stay between 24 degrees to 33 degrees celsius. On the other hand, humidity will also be quite high.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch has been good for batting considering the way runs were piled on during the Saturday’s matches. However, bowlers who have bowled a tight line and length have also been successful in getting wickets. Batting first would be a good option for the team winning the toss as it would give them a great opportunity to post a big total and restrict the opposition.
