KRK vs YR Pitch Report

Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground

Conditions at Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

The first-innings average over the last 40 T20 games at this ground is 174, and 161 in the second innings. A score of 165-180 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 20 wins to 20 across the last 40 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 187/5 (VMK, won), 139 (YR, lost), 191/4 (KRK, won), 143/8 (OAW, lost), 180 (KRK, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 168. First-innings totals here have ranged from 135 to 254 in that time.

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