South Africa vs West Indies 3rd T20I Wanderers Stadium Pitch Report, Johannesburg Pitch Details Today’s Match
In the most recent SA20 League, seven games were played at the Johannesburg Wanderers Stadium, one of which was postponed because of rain. In terms of the wicket’s characteristics, this track has been extremely competitive and supportive for almost everyone. Given the circumstances, expect a close encounter.
Intriguingly, the teams that batted first won four out of six matches in the SA20 League. In the first inning, when the batters were able to play their pitches with ease, the pitch was excellent for batting. However, the second one became extremely difficult to bat in.
The wicket provided some assistance to both pacers and spinners during the second innings. This field has relatively small boundaries, and the outfield is also short. The fresh pitch will also help the batters here, as we have seen in previous games with high scoring contests.
The team which wins the toss should opt to bat second at this venue as it will get easier to bat on with time.
