WARR vs LIO Pitch Report

Newlands, Cape Town

The surface at Newlands tends to give both batters and bowlers something to work with.

The first-innings average over the last 29 T20 games at this ground is 157, and 143 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 150-165 on the board. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 12 wins to 16 across the last 28 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 194/6 (LIO, won), 160/7 (BOL, lost), 99 (SWD, lost), 178/9 (WP, won), 174/7 (BOL, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 161. First-innings totals here have ranged from 81 to 225 in that time.

Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 54% to the seamers and 46% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 8.54 an over and spinners at 7.65, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: there is not much in it, but most captains will still choose to chase.
