SA-W vs IND-W Kingsmead, Durban Pitch Report
Durban's Kingsmead ground is generally conducive to seamers. The pitch offers significant bounce and seam movement, particularly when the ball is new. However, the ball comes onto the bat quite well. Instead of attempting aggressive shots right from the first ball, batsmen should allow themselves some time to settle in. The average first-innings score here has been around 155; therefore, the team winning the toss is likely to opt to bat first.
