WFR vs ND Pitch Report

Basin Reserve, Wellington

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

The first-innings average over the last 40 List A games at this ground is 273, and 238 in the second innings. Anything in the 260-290 range should make a competitive total. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 20 wins to 20 across the last 40 decided games.

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.
