Basin Reserve, Wellington

Conditions at Basin Reserve have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

Across the last 40 List A matches here, the side batting first has averaged 273, with chasing teams averaging 238. Batting first, a side will want something around 260-290 on the board. Results have been evenly split: 20 wins for the side batting first and 20 for the chasers.

First-innings totals here have ranged from 129 to 427 in that time.

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