With bowlers shining on both sides, the upcoming match promises to be a tight affair.

Arnos Vale, the venue for the match, has not hosted an international game in almost a decade, adding an element of unpredictability to the conditions. Weather forecasts indicate some early rain may affect play, but the teams are ready to adapt to the challenges.
