EAS vs MPR Pitch Report

Willowmoore Park, Benoni

Willowmoore Park usually gives an even contest between bat and ball.

The first-innings average over the last 23 T20 games at this ground is 154, and 131 in the second innings. A score of 145-160 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 11 wins to 12 across the last 23 decided games.

The last 3 first-innings scores here, newest first: 77/9 (LIM-W, lost), 133/5 (EAS-W, won), 103 (EAST). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 3 first innings averaged 104, below the ground average of 154. First-innings totals here have ranged from 77 to 222 in that time.

Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
