SA-W vs IR-W Match Pitch Report
The pitch at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg for today's SA-W vs IR-W ODI match has good bounce and pace, which is advantageous for batsmen and conducive to high-scoring matches in white-ball cricket.
Initially, fast bowlers are expected to benefit from favorable conditions with good seam movement, which will later give way to a flatter pitch where spinners will find limited turn. The average first-innings score in ODIs here is over 250, and dew could give the team chasing under the lights an advantage.
In recent women's ODIs at the Wanderers, teams batting first have won 60% of the matches, but the chasing teams have averaged 5.2 runs per over. South Africa's pace attack, including Ayabonga Khaka, could capitalize on the early swing.
