Today's match previews on JOY786 Live Sports
Reading the form of the BPL opening match.
Form-wise, this match has already opened at the run rate in the last five innings; both teams have been able to handle the pressure in the power-play, so the toss will have a big impact.

Here, looking at live stats helps decide; after the first six overs, the picture becomes much clearer.
