SuperSport Park Pitch Report
Excellent batting conditions are known to be available on the surface at Centurion’s SuperSport Park. Throughout the years, hitters have traditionally appreciated the track’s bounce and speed. It is anticipated that the surface will be excellent for batting, while there may be a hint of seam movement and more bounce for the new ball bowlers.
In fact, in the SA20 last year, teams scored more than 200 runs five times in four SA20 matches played there. The hitters will therefore probably dominate the game, and the bowlers will probably have a difficult day. The toss-winner may choose to bat first because teams have had greater success at SuperSport Park in SA20.
