LIO vs LMI Pitch Report

Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg

This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at Wanderers Stadium are usually on the low side.

The first-innings average over the last 10 T20 games at this ground is 133, and 132 in the second innings. A score of 125-140 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 4 wins to 5 across the last 9 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 137/5 (NCH, lost), 133/7 (WP-W, won), 138/8 (LIO, won), 205/5 (LIO, lost), 81/7 (LIO-W, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 139. First-innings totals here have ranged from 77 to 205 in that time.

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