LIO vs DOL Pitch Report

Kingsmead, Durban

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

Across the last 40 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 140, with chasing teams averaging 126. A score of 130-150 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: 147 (IND-W, lost), 75/8 (LIO-W, lost), 131/6 (LIO-W, won), 95 (TIT-W, lost), 94 (WARR, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 108, below the ground average of 140. First-innings totals here have ranged from 59 to 210 in that time.

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