Pitch Report
The renowned Wanderers Stadium offers a pitch that has been generally regarded as favourable for batting. However, continuous rain in South Africa may bring in moisture, offering help to the bowlers. The average first-inning score at this venue is 240 and historically team bowling first has had an upper hand at this venue.
