WP-W vs LIO-W Pitch Report
Newlands, Cape Town
Conditions at Newlands have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.
The first-innings average over the last 25 WT20 games at this ground is 157, and 141 in the second innings. A score of 150-165 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 10 wins to 14 across the last 24 decided games.
The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 174/7 (BOL, lost), 130/7 (EAS, lost), 194/4 (SA-E, lost), 159/7 (SWD-W, won), 168/7 (KNI, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 165. First-innings totals here have ranged from 81 to 225 in that time.
Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 65% of the wickets (13 of 20). Seamers have gone at 8.85 an over and spinners at 8.18, 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.
