CH vs AH-W Pitch Report

McLean Park, Napier

This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at McLean Park are usually on the low side.

The first-innings average over the last 11 WList A games at this ground is 201, and 178 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 185-215 on the board. Teams chasing have the better record here, 9 wins from 11.

First-innings totals here have ranged from 129 to 281 in that time.

This has been a seamers' ground: pace bowlers have taken 90% of the wickets here (27 of 30). Seamers have gone at 4.14 an over and spinners at 3.42, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: bowl first and chase.
