St George’s Park pitch report
St George’s Park in Gkebarha has a bowler-friendly pitch, which is particularly suited to fast bowlers with its constant pace, bounce and seam movement, as seen in recent SA20 games. The surface provides early assistance to the pacers, who have taken more wickets than the spinners, while the batsmen need to settle against disciplined lines. Hopefully short boundaries will aid the power-hitters later on, but low bounce in the middle overs could lead to the collapse. The dew factor may further worsen the situation tomorrow evening.
