Wanderers Stadium Pitch Report

The Wanderers Stadium pitch is a traditional South African “bullring” surface, known as a batsman’s paradise, due to its elevation and fast outfield. Stroke-makers will enjoy the consistent bounce and carry that allows the ball to come onto the bat well right from the powerplay. However, recent cloudy conditions and moisture from seasonal rains may provide the bowlers with some lateral movement and additional pace in the early overs. While history favors high-scoring encounters, captains generally prefer to bowl first here to take advantage of early support for the pacers before the surface becomes flat.
