Wanderers Stadium Pitch Report
The Wanderers Stadium is famous as a batsman’s paradise due to its height and fast outfield, which allows the ball to travel great distances. The pitch generally provides genuine bounce which stroke-makers prefer, although the bullring often provides some sharp bounce and lateral movement for fast bowlers early in the innings. In recent SA20 fixtures, scores over 180 have been the norm rather than the exception. While the surface remains the same throughout, the historical trend at this venue is in favor of the team bowling first, as chasing under lights may be a little easier once the initial seam movement subsides. The captain who wins the toss will likely elect to bowl first to take advantage of the morning moisture.
