Pitch Report
Boland Park in Paarl features a flat track that provides a balanced contest between bat and ball. Pacers can extract some bounce, but the surface generally offers limited assistance, requiring accuracy and discipline from bowlers.
Batting conditions are average, with the pitch allowing for steady accumulation of runs rather than explosive scoring, as reflected in the average first innings score of 152 runs. Spinners also find moderate assistance, especially in the middle overs. Toss-winning captains often prefer to bat first, aiming to post a competitive total on a surface that remains consistent throughout the game.
