PR vs MICT: Pitch Report

The match between PR and MICT will be taking place at Boland Park in Paarl. The wicket at Paarl is one of the rare ones in SA currently to provide any sort of assistance for the bowlers. Given the wild wind at the venue, there would be a swing on offer for the Pacers. The wicket offers some movement as well. Even spinners tend to get some spin at the venue. It makes the bowlers handy candidates to be in the game.

Batters will have to work for their runs. Running between the wickets would be key, as hitting boundaries in the middle is not easy. The boundary size at the venue makes it a unique experience for the batters. It is a venue where the leg side boundaries are not that long, and the straight boundaries are not easy to clear. A score of over 160 would be competitive. Teams winning the toss would not mind batting first.
