SA vs WI 2nd T20 Pitch Report
SuperSport Park in Centurion remains a fast, bouncy pitch that favors batsmen after the initial stages with the new ball, while fast bowlers get early assistance from the pace, carry, and potential swing on the firm surface.
- Once settled, the excellent pace and true bounce allow for quick scoring; several first-innings totals of 175+ have been posted in recent SA20 matches.
- Humidity in the afternoon benefits the fast bowlers (which dries up by the evening), while spinners get very little turn on this hard surface.
- With a fast outfield and an average first-innings T20I score of around 175, this is a stark contrast to the slower pitch in Paarl for the first T20.
