SA-W vs IND-W: Pitch Report
The pitch at Kingmead usually helps bowlers, especially fast bowlers, because moisture gives the ball extra movement. Even though conditions favor bowlers, batters can still score well if they spend time at the crease. The average first innings score here is around 160, but it could be higher in this match.
