Afghanistan vs Papua New Guinea Toss Prediction:

The average first innings score at this venue is 184, with the highest T20I total being 267, scored by England in 2023. The pitch at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy tends to favor batsmen. Teams winning the toss often opt to bat first. Afghanistan has successfully set and defended targets in their first two matches.

Pitch and Conditions:

During the game between West Indies and New Zealand, the pitch in Tarouba was slow, and some deliveries from a good length outside off stump stayed low, making it difficult to play through the line. Due to rain before the match, the conditions were challenging. With rain expected on Friday, the pitch may become drier and support more spin. The captain winning the toss is likely to choose to bowl first due to the anticipated dew.

Weather Report:

• Temp: 26 degree celsius

• Precipitation: 4%

• Humidity: 87%

• Wind speed: 6 km/h
