Kingsmead Pitch Report
Kingsmead traditionally offers new ball pace and rewards disciplined seam bowling, particularly early in the evening where the occasional blow from the wind and surface can unsettle the top order. T20 numbers at the venue show that first innings scores in the 160-180 band are highly competitive, with teams batting first winning more often than chasing, especially when early wickets fall. With both sides having depth in batting but inconsistent attacks, the captain who wins the toss may lean towards batting. First, the pressure of the backing board and later a slight slowing of the pitch.
