SFU vs LAKR Pitch Report

Oakland Coliseum

Batters usually enjoy themselves at Oakland Coliseum, where the ball tends to come on to the bat nicely.

The first-innings average over the last 17 T20 games at this ground is 184, and 150 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 175-190 on the board. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 10 wins to 7 across the last 17 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 190/4 (WF, lost), 154/7 (SOR, won), 185/4 (TSK, lost), 144/6 (MINY, won), 191 (SOR, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 173, below the ground average of 184. First-innings totals here have ranged from 127 to 269 in that time.

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