The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 10th Match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Simonds Stadium, Geelong. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Geelong is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
