The Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns has hosted just two ODI games so far. The upcoming series itself will add three matches to this count. Therefore, there is not a lot of data available for the team analysts.
Nevertheless, if you take a look at the two games, both have been won by the team batting second. Hence, the captains will have a fair idea of what to do at the toss. Surprisingly, the average score batting first is just 126 and it is likely to increase after the upcoming series. The last fixture here happened way back in 2003. Therefore, it needs to be seen how the track would behave. Players will have to adapt well to survive on this pitch.

Temperature is likely to remain around 25 degrees Celsius for the entirety of the game, although it would drop during the second innings. The weather will be partly cloudy but no rains are expected. Therefore, fans can be assured of a full game, without any interruptions.
