Pitch report
The Oval surface appears to be slowing up. In reverse order scores in first dig are: 137-157-171. The last two games have been won by the side batting second. This has the feel of an unders game on the runs line.
How to play
Invincibles are 1.794/5 and Phoenix 2.245/4. Phoenix suffered a chastening loss to Superchargers last time out and just like their opponents they need a win to avoid a major blow to qualification hopes. Phoenix really should get it. Over time they've proved to be a canny team and it's a surprise to see them so big. This should be a choice affair. Bet the match odds here.
