Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Centurion, assists the batters and bowlers equally. The surface has typically proven good for batting and Durban is known to offer more help to the spinners in comparison to other venues in the country. Pacers accounted for 65 percent of the wickets across the last four T20Is but spin had a big say as well. The powerplay phase might not be fruitful for bowlers, with only 10 percent of the wickets falling in the first six overs in the last four T20Is. Chasing might be the preferred option given the record at the venue.

The average first innings score is here 155 runs.
