Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground are usually on the low side.
Across the last 40 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 147, with chasing teams averaging 133. Anything in the 140-155 range should make a competitive total. Results have been evenly split: 18 wins for the side batting first and 22 for the chasers.
The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 180/6 (KY, lost), 147/7 (JB), 105/2 (BTK, won), 186/7 (BTK, lost), 115 (KG, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 147. First-innings totals here have ranged from 87 to 222 in that time.
Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 60% of the wickets (18 of 30). Seamers have gone at 8.36 an over and spinners at 6.98, 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.
