The surface is good to bat on but overcast conditions can help pacers to take early assistance. Two pacers have bagged five-wicket hauls in the competition. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 159. Spinners come handy in the middle overs. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play sensibly.Score prediction:If Edinburgh bat first - 170-180 runsIf Glasgow bat first - 150-160 runsToss: To BowlIn the last five completed T20s on this surface, chasing sides won four times. Overcast conditions can allow captains to bowl first without any doubt. It may backfire if pacers get extra help from the pitch. Both teams have had earlier success while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well.
