Kingsmead Pitch Report
Kingsmead traditionally offers seam movement with the new ball due to surface moisture and coastal humidity, making the powerplay a difficult phase for batsmen who become too aggressive too early. Recent SA20 and T20 data in Durban shows that the average score in the first innings remains between 150-160, with any score above 165 often proving very competitive if the bowlers hit the pitch-hard back-of-the-length channels. There have been occasional high scoring games between the two. When the surface heats up in the sunlight and the ball slips, teams cross the score of 200, but there is still hope for a balanced contest between bat and ball.
