BTK vs LMB Pitch Report
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground are usually on the low side.
The first-innings average over the last 40 T20 games at this ground is 147, and 133 in the second innings. Anything in the 140-155 range should make a competitive total. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 18 wins to 22 across the last 40 decided games.
The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 129/6 (CR, lost), 180/6 (KY, lost), 147/7 (JB), 105/2 (BTK, won), 186/7 (BTK, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 149. First-innings totals here have ranged from 87 to 222 in that time.
Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 61% of the wickets (19 of 31). Seamers have gone at 8.36 an over and spinners at 6.91, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.
Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
