At Gaddafi Stadium, the captain who wins the toss often decides to bowl (field) first. Due to the 'Dew Factor,' the team chasing faces difficulty gripping the wet ball, which subsequently makes it easier for the chasing side to score runs. Therefore, in today's match as well, it is expected that the captain winning the toss will prefer to chase.
