What can fans expect from the Newlands pitch?
Newlands has long offered good support to fast bowlers, especially early in the match, and none of the top eight Test wicket-takers at the ground are spinners. The surface is expected to favour the seamers on the first day, with batting getting easier once the ball gets older.
