IND vs SA 4th T20 Pitch Report: Bowlers' silver or batsmen will create havoc, Wanderers Cricket Stadium pitch report
Cricket News Desk. The T20 International series between India and South Africa is now in its final stages. The third and last match of the series will be played on November 15 at 8:30 pm Indian time at the famous Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The Indian team registered spectacular victories in the first and third matches, while host South Africa won the second match. In this way, India is leading 2-1 in the series and would like to win the last match at any cost and win the series 3-1.
How important is the toss at the Wanderers Stadium?
If we look at the record of T20 international matches played in the stadium, a total of 26 matches have been played. Interestingly, the team batting first has won 13 matches and the same number of matches have been won by the team bowling first. In this context, the toss is not very important, but the average score of the team batting first is 171 runs, while the average score of the second innings is 145 runs. That is, if the team makes a big score by batting first then it is not so easy to bat in the second innings. This means that even if the toss is not important from the record point of view, any team will choose to bat when given the opportunity.
One such record is in the name of Wanderers Stadium.
The highest score on this ground is 260 runs, which was made by Sri Lanka against Kenya, while the lowest score is 83 runs made by Bangladesh. South Africa's biggest target on this ground was 208 runs against West Indies. South Africa also holds the record for saving the least runs. He defended 118 runs against Bangladesh. That means, if the bowling is strong then 125 runs is a lot, but if the batsman has a day then even a score of 200 can be easily achieved.
India vs South Africa Wanderers Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Now let's talk about the pitch of the Wanderers Stadium. Like the last match, it will be easy for the batsmen to bat in the first innings. However, the fast bowlers have a lot of work to do here. If the pace and bounce is excellent then South Africa's tall fast bowlers will have a chance to cause trouble for India. If the Indian team bats first then some early wickets may fall quickly. Suryakumar Yadav's team will have to avoid this.
