ZIM vs IND Pitch Report
Harare Sports Club
The surface at Harare Sports Club tends to give both batters and bowlers something to work with.
The first-innings average over the last 16 T20I games at this ground is 167, and 140 in the second innings. A score of 160-175 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 8 wins to 8 across the last 16 decided games.
The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 199 (ZIM, lost), 247/6 (ZIM, won), 141 (ZIM, won), 71 (MAW, lost), 80 (SL, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 148, below the ground average of 167. First-innings totals here have ranged from 71 to 247 in that time.
Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
