TOSS PREDICTION:

The team winning the toss will go with ball 1st, Chasing in Cardiff ground is easier as compared to defend the total.

PITCH REPORT:

The pitch at Sophia ground will be completely flat, it will support the batsmen to hit through the line. 300+ run will be expected from any team and that will be the par score.

CONCLUSION:

As per our analysis, New Zealand will win the match. New Zealand is having experienced players advantage and as they are going to play in a batting pitch and we all know how good New Zealand batsmen are and as they will play against a weak team, so they will take the advantage and register their team name with a win in the point table.
