SV Kampong had a tough day in the office with two close losses against Sparta Cricket. However, Excelsior did get a win against Voorburg on Wednesday as they reinstated their credentials as a genuine contender for the title.

Both teams are evenly matched on paper with nothing much to separate them. Despite being the higher-placed of the two sides in the points table, Excelsior 20 are slight underdogs heading into this game against Kampong, who do have a strong batting unit.

All in all, we should be in for a great contest with both sides eager to get two points ahead of the all-important knockout phase.

Pitch Report

A good batting track awaits the two sides with the ball skidding on to the bat nicely. The bowlers will have a hard time on this surface with there being absolutely no room for error.

With there being little movement off the surface, changes of pace should be the go-to weapon for the pacers towards the end of the innings. Considering that this would be the fifth game of the day, the pitch could be a tad slower, although 100 should still be achievable at this venue.
