NIG vs MOZ Pitch Report

Nigeria Cricket Federation Oval 1, Abuja

Conditions at Nigeria Cricket Federation Oval 1 have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

The first-innings average over the last 4 T20I games at this ground is 164, and 117 in the second innings. A score of 155-170 looks like par on this surface. Defending has worked well at this ground, with 3 wins from 4 for the side batting first.

The last 4 first-innings scores here, newest first: 142/9 (ZAM, lost), 148/6 (MOZ, won), 169/8 (LES, won), 195/6 (UGA, won). First-innings totals here have ranged from 142 to 195 in that time.

Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 53% to the seamers and 47% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 7.73 an over and spinners at 8.13, so the quicker bowlers have been harder to get away.

Toss call: bat first and put runs on the board.
