Now, the two teams will face each other in the 2nd T20I of the three-match series at St. George’s Park in Gqeberha on Tuesday. With the possibility of rain in the second match, take a look at the detailed IND vs SA 2nd T20I pitch report.
IND vs SA 2nd T20I, St. George’s Park Pitch Report
Only three matches have been played at St. George’s Park. The average first-inning score on this pitch is 130 runs. However, the average does not reflect the unpredictability of the pitch, where both batters and bowlers shine on different days.
The pitch has a fair amount of bounce, which the pacers can take advantage of. The fresh ball can move a bit in the first few overs. Because the outfield is quick, hitters can score runs if they get through the starting overs. The spinners play a crucial role in the second inning with a small amount of turn in the track.
