WBL vs CH Pitch Report

Basin Reserve, Wellington

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

Across the last 40 WList A matches here, the side batting first has averaged 275, with chasing teams averaging 228. Anything in the 260-290 range should make a competitive total. Results have been evenly split: 23 wins for the side batting first and 17 for the chasers.

The last 3 first-innings scores here, newest first: 205 (WFR, won), 354/7 (WFR, won), 350/5 (CK, won). Scoring has gone up lately: the last 3 first innings averaged 303, above the ground average of 275. First-innings totals here have ranged from 129 to 427 in that time.

This has been a seamers' ground: pace bowlers have taken 82% of the wickets here (32 of 39). Seamers have gone at 5.58 an over and spinners at 4.81, 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.
