Expert Tips - Mongolia vs Singapore
The match is scheduled to take place at the UKM-YSD Cricket Oval in Bangi. The pitch here will be really flat, with good pace and bounce, making life equally challenging between batsmen and bowlers. Although that can be considered as somewhat even for the distribution of players on the field, even spin bowlers can find ways in order to make it hard for everyone. Today's weather forecast indicates the temperature is at 30.8°C and overcast. Cloud cover will be at 99%, but no rain is in the forecast. The wind is light with a speed of 4.34 km/h.
Bouncing back from their defeat in the previous tie, Singapore prepares to go all guns blazing as the next big clash approaches. With a pretty strong lineup and decent form, they are very well placed to try and win this tie.
