MICT vs PR Pitch Report
St George’s Park, Gqeberha, has a quick surface, and we have always seen fast bowlers do well on this track. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Spinners don’t get much from the surface and must depend on their variations.
Toss: To Bat
The side chasing the score has won only once in the five games this season at this venue. The conditions were difficult for the batsmen in the second half when the wicket slowed down. The side winning the toss here would have little hesitation in opting to bowl first.
