Weather & Pitch Report
Boland Park, Paarl
Clear
Pitch Condition: Batting
The pitch at the Boland Park in Paarl is often a bowling-friendly surface. Fast bowlers can swing the ball, which can make it difficult for batsmen in the early stages of the game. The conditions for batting in the first innings are better than in the second innings, so the captain winning the toss will prefer to bat first on this ground. We have seen many high-scoring matches in the recent SA20 matches held at this venue, so this match is also expected to be a good-scoring match.
