OS vs NB-W Pitch Report

University Oval, Dunedin

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

The first-innings average over the last 36 WList A games at this ground is 263, and 216 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 250-280 on the board. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 20 wins to 16 across the last 36 decided games.

First-innings totals here have ranged from 102 to 407 in that time.

This has been a seamers' ground: pace bowlers have taken 81% of the wickets here (22 of 27). Seamers have gone at 4.10 an over and spinners at 4.90, so the quicker bowlers have been harder to get away.

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