WARR vs LIO Pitch Report

St George's Park, Gqeberha

Runs have not come easily at St George's Park, where the bowlers usually find something in the surface.

The first-innings average over the last 6 T20 games at this ground is 141, and 111 in the second innings. A score of 135-150 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 3 wins to 3 across the last 6 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 175/4 (WARR, won), 35 (EP-W, lost), 209/5 (WARR, won), 146/7 (LIO, lost), 147/7 (EP-W, won). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 142. First-innings totals here have ranged from 35 to 209 in that time.

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