Kingsmead Pitch Report
Kingsmead has a reputation for being a bit of a grind for the batter; Don’t expect a straight highway where you can cross the line without any difficulty. The golden window to score is against the new ball, though it’s still tough. Once that sparkle fades, the pitch tends to slow down, offering spinners plenty of grip to dictate conditions in the middle overs.
Given these conditions, scoreboard pressure is king here. The average score in the first innings is 143, which suggests that the captain who wins the innings will almost always look to bat first, put runs on the board and allow the slow bowlers to squeeze the opposition in the chase.
