JB vs KG Pitch Report
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground has generally helped the bowlers, and scores here tend to come in under the usual T20 par.
The first-innings average over the last 40 T20 games at this ground is 148, and 134 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 140-155 on the board. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 19 wins to 21 across the last 40 decided games.
The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 145/7 (PA, lost), 132/9 (KY, won), 157/3 (CR, won), 87 (SPR, lost), 177/8 (PMC, won). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 140. First-innings totals here have ranged from 87 to 222 in that time.
Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 80% of the wickets (12 of 15). Seamers have gone at 7.70 an over and spinners at 7.02, 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.
