There is very little between these two sides. We give Dolphins Women a narrow edge, at 51% to win.

They know these conditions, with four wins from five games at this venue, compared with one from two for Lions Women. Their results this season back this up: Dolphins Women are 3rd in the table, Lions Women 5th. That said, Lions Women lead the head-to-head record 3-0, which is why this is far from a sure thing.

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 140, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

DOL-W vs LIO-W Pitch Report

Kingsmead, Durban

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

Across the last 40 WT20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 143, with chasing teams averaging 128. A score of 135-150 looks like par on this surface. Results have been evenly split: 19 wins for the side batting first and 21 for the chasers.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 174/4 (DOL, lost), 51/4 (SWD, lost), 116 (DOL, lost), 179/7 (DOL-W, won), 239/5 (DOL, won). Scoring has gone up lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 152, above the ground average of 143. First-innings totals here have ranged from 51 to 239 in that time.

This has been a seamers' ground: pace bowlers have taken 73% of the wickets here (32 of 44). Seamers have gone at 9.02 an over and spinners at 8.28, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: there is not much in it, but most captains will still choose to chase.
