Marrara Cricket Ground (Darwin) – Pitch Report

Weather Condition
🌞 Typically hot and humid in Darwin, expect temperatures around 32 °C, 70–80 % humidity, and a chance of scattered afternoon showers. Evening dew is rare, but high humidity can soften the pitch surface overnight.

Bat 1st vs Chasing Record

  • Total T20 matches: Limited data

  • Both batting first and bowling first teams have shared wins evenly in recorded contests

Toss Decision
Captains tend to bat first, aiming to score heavily under dry daytime conditions and avoid any risk of late-season dampness or tropical showers.

Pitch Behaviour
The Marrara wicket is generally a batting-friendly surface under dry conditions, offering true bounce and fast outfield. Seamers benefit early from bounce, but swing is minimal. The pitch tends to slow slightly as the match progresses, offering turn to spinners. Evening dew is usually minimal, so chasing late remains viable if the outfield dries after rain interruption.

Ground Features

  • Flat deck with short square boundaries—ideal for power hitters

  • Dry tropical climate can crack the pitch mid-match, aiding spinners

Key Stats

  • Highest T20 score at venue (domestic/academy series): ~202 (1st innings)

  • Lowest T20 score: as low as 4 by rundown batting line-ups

Recent T20 Highlights

  • Domestic/academy matches have produced big totals (200+) and low scores (single digits), showing a high variance in results

  • In recent A-team T20 contests, Darwin has hosted matches with winners bowling first and batting first—indicating a true surface

Final Verdict
🏏 Marrara is a run-heavy venue under optimal conditions. Teams should aim to bat first and post 180+ on dry pitches with help from short boundaries and fast outfields. Spinners become effective later on day-long surfaces. While rain is a factor, chasing remains feasible if overhead conditions hold. Expect high-scoring contests with batting dominance early and spinner control later.
