Pitch Report

Shaun Pollock: “67m and 61m square boundaries and 74m straight down the ground. Wind is coming across the ground so it will assist hitting to the short boundary.” 

Waqar Younis: “It doesn’t give a really good look. Games played here have been low scoring. Pacers have to stay back of a length because you get some extra bounce as well. I think Nortje will have good success. Spinners have to pitch it up and spin the ball. There is some debris in some parts so the ball will spin.”
