St George’s Park Pitch Report for SA20 2023
The St Georges Park wicket is expected to help the batters in the first couple of games but eventually become more sluggish over time. However, this doesn’t mean that the bowlers have no say. In fact, some pace bowlers will definitely enjoy bowling on this surface with the new ball.
Teams that win the toss would preferably choose to bowl first on this wicket in order to use the conditions to their full benefit. This is because chasing would be a good option based on the factors at the venue.
