BLZ-W vs DUR-W Pitch Report

The Oval, London

Runs have not come easily at The Oval, where the bowlers usually find something in the surface.

The first-innings average over the last 17 WT20 games at this ground is 150, and 147 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 140-160 on the board. Teams chasing have the better record here, 12 wins from 17.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 129/8 (HAM-W, lost), 105 (SUR-W, lost), 123 (SUR, lost), 132/8 (HAM-W, lost), 176/7 (SUS, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 133, below the ground average of 150. First-innings totals here have ranged from 105 to 215 in that time.

This has been a seamers' ground: pace bowlers have taken 76% of the wickets here (13 of 17). Seamers have gone at 8.40 an over and spinners at 7.43, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: bowl first and chase.
