MICT vs SEC Pitch Report

Newlands, Cape Town

Conditions at Newlands have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

The first-innings average over the last 27 T20 games at this ground is 155, and 141 in the second innings. A score of 145-165 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 11 wins to 15 across the last 26 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 99 (SWD, lost), 178/9 (WP, won), 174/7 (BOL, lost), 130/7 (EAS, lost), 194/4 (SA-E, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 155. First-innings totals here have ranged from 81 to 225 in that time.

Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 59% of the wickets (26 of 44). Seamers have gone at 8.60 an over and spinners at 7.46, 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.
