(Last 10 match)

The pitch at Forthill, Dundee is known to offer assistance to both batsmen and bowlers. Early on, the wicket provides some swing and movement for the seamers, but as the game progresses, it becomes more favorable for the batters. The outfield is generally fast, and the pitch has good bounce, making it ideal for aggressive batting. However, spinners are likely to play a crucial role in the middle overs, especially in the latter half of the innings. Teams winning the toss might opt to bat first, aiming to set a challenging target. Dew could come into play during the second innings, which may offer an advantage to the chasing team.
