PR vs MICT Pitch Report

Boland Park, Paarl

Boland Park has generally helped the bowlers, and scores here tend to come in under the usual T20 par.

The first-innings average over the last 25 T20 games at this ground is 132, and 125 in the second innings. Anything in the 125-140 range should make a competitive total. Teams chasing have the better record here, 15 wins from 22.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 134/8 (BOL, lost), 53 (KEI-W, lost), 169/5 (SWD, won), 137/8 (TIT), 141/6 (BOL, won). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 127. First-innings totals here have ranged from 42 to 173 in that time.

Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 49% to the seamers and 51% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 7.44 an over and spinners at 6.63, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Whoever wins the toss should be tempted to field first.
