Newlands Cricket Ground Pitch Report

The average run rate at Newlands in this season’s SA20 stands at 8.66, indicating that the pitch has been highly favorable for batting. While new ball bowlers might find some movement early on, the surface is expected to become more suitable for stroke play as the game progresses.

Spinners are unlikely to extract much turn from the pitch, so their success will depend on maintaining precise lines and lengths. Since the track is expected to remain consistent throughout the game, and chasing teams have won two of the three matches played here, the team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
