Pitch Report: At the venue — the Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok — the surface is described as strongly batting-friendly with consistent bounce and good carry for batters.
Past matches at the ground show very high scoring in the Sixes format; for example, one match registered scores over 120 in few overs.
The combination of a flat batting deck and favourable conditions for big hitting make this an ideal stage for high totals and quick chases. However, the threat of thunderstorms means the match could face weather disruptions, which may influence the toss decision and strategy (teams may prefer to bat first if there is a chance of rain interrupting the later innings).
