(Last 10 match)

The Dafabet St George's Park pitch in Gqeberha is known for assisting both batters and bowlers, making for an evenly contested game. The surface provides early swing and seam movement, favoring fast bowlers in the initial overs. Batters who can negotiate the new ball will have an opportunity to score freely as the pitch flattens out in the middle overs. Spinners are expected to play a key role as well, especially if the pitch slows down as the game progresses. The fast outfield will reward well-timed shots, making stroke play effective once the batters get their eye in. A first-innings total of 260-280 will be competitive, with teams likely to prefer batting first to set up a challenging target. Chasing at this venue can be tricky under lights, with the pitch offering something for both pacers and spinners.
