Queens Sports Club pitch report
The Queens Sports Club will aid pacers, and batters will be able to time the shots well. It is generally feasible for batting as the game goes on, but spinners can generate results if they bowl with line and lengths. On the weather front, there are 40 percent chances of rain during the afternoon in the second half of the game. The skipper winning the toss might want to have a bowl first.
