Pitch and Weather Report:

PITCH REPORT: (Green)

"The pitch has suffered a bit of rain during the week, but the weather has heated up during the last few days and has produced a slighty green pitch. The ball should move around a lot and it will be very difficult for the batsman to score runs. The main force of todays match will be the pace-men, spinners will struggle with this pitch."

WEATHER REPORT: (Grey, Hot)

"The weather has just started to heat up before the match, but those black clouds are rolling in again and we can excpect them to help the ball move through the air a bit. The hot temperature will make it tough for the batsman."

Latest Odds:
------------------------
Swaziland: $1.90
Jono's XI: $2.20

Swaziland are slight favourites for this match. Their bowling attack is much better suited for the conditions than Jono's XI.
Jono's XI have made an intresting choice with playing the 4 spinners, it could be a good gamble or could cost them dearly.
