While 2/11 matches have ended without results, 5 matches have been won batting first as opposed to 4 while bowling first.The deck at the venue will help the seamers with the new ball, with some early movement before it eventually gets flatter and easier to bat on. The spinner will have to do the job to stem the run-flow here, as not much turn will be on offer. Considering it is a day game, teams would ideally like the chase at this venue.Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo weather report for AUS vs ENG U19 World Cup semi-finalCriterionSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableDetailsSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableTemperatureSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table29°CSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableFeels likeSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table32°CSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableWindSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableE 15 km/hrSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableWind gustsSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table35 km/hrSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableProbability of precipitationSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table7%SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableCloud CoverSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table11%SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableAccording to Accuweather, the temperatures will be high as it is usually expected in Bulawayo and will feel like 32°C during the day, making it a good wicket to bat on under the sun. The skies will be clear with only 11% cloud cover forecasted, and conditions will be nice and bright throughout the course of the day, with only 7% chances of precipitation.The 35 km/hr wind gusts mean the bowlers could occasionally have some swing and drift due to it, while the batters can also use it for their advantage with their lofted shots. Overall, it is expected to be a good day for a big semi-final battle, with no interruptions expected due to the weather.ConclusionIt will be a nice and bright day for a knockout match to be played in Bulawayo, with close to no chances of rain. The wind and heat could be used in favour of both batters and bowlers, but considering it will be a day match, neither Australia nor England will have a lopsided advantage of the weather conditions.However, the pitch report suggests the team winning the toss should ideally bowl first and chase the target in the afternoon.
