Pitch Report:
The pitch at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg is traditionally a good batting surface. The goring in South Africa is probably the best batting surface among all the grounds in the country.
But one cannot rule out pacers on the Proteas pitch. The venue so far has hosted 38 games and the average which first inning score at this venue is 310, which dips down in last three innings as the
game progresses. Out of 38 games, 17 have been won by teams batting first whereas 11 have been won by teams batting first. The record at the venue suggests that captain winning the toss should opt to
bat as fresh pitch will be best to bat.
