Welcome to Gahanga International Cricket Stadium, Kigali City, for our iCrickets.com pitch report. Based on the small sample size of three T20 matches, the pitch appears to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball, with a noticeable advantage for the team batting first.
The average 1st innings score stands at 124, while the average 2nd innings score drops to 101. This significant difference, combined with the fact that the side batting first has won 100% of the decided matches, strongly indicates that the pitch tends to slow down or become more challenging as the game progresses. There is no data provided to specifically confirm dew factor, bounce, or turn, but the scoring patterns suggest that chasing targets could be a difficult proposition here.
For fantasy cricket enthusiasts, this information is crucial. Given the limited-overs format and the strong trend of teams winning by batting first, it is advisable to prioritize batsmen from the team batting first, especially those in the top order who can capitalize on the initial conditions. Bowlers, particularly those who bowl in the middle and death overs, might also find success as batsmen struggle to accelerate in the second innings.
Looking at individual performances, Gisele Ishimwe (78 runs, avg 39.0) and Fanny Utagushimaninde (75 runs, avg 37.5) have been the standout batsmen. Among bowlers, Christabel Chukwuonye and Ruth Uwimana have both picked up 4 wickets. These players should be strong considerations for your Dream11 teams, focusing on their respective strengths in the innings they are likely to perform best.
