With little form or head-to-head history on record, Central Hinds and Auckland Hearts start on level terms, and the toss and team news could decide it.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 220, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

CH vs AH-W Pitch Report

McLean Park, Napier

McLean Park has generally helped the bowlers, and scores here tend to come in under the usual WList A par.

Across the last 11 WList A matches here, the side batting first has averaged 201, with chasing teams averaging 178. Batting first, a side will want something around 185-215 on the board. Chasing has been the smarter option, with the side batting second winning 9 of the last 11 decided games.

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. The captain who wins it is likely to put the other side in.
