Pitch:
The pitch at the Singapore National Cricket Ground is known to be true and offers early assistance to fast bowlers, with swing and seam movement likely in the initial overs. As the match progresses, the surface tends to settle and becomes better for batting, allowing stroke-makers to play more freely.
Weather:
Expected rain delays and interruptions, which could impact the match at the Singapore National Cricket Ground. The conditions may be humid and wet, so teams should be prepared for a rain-curtailed contest.
