Kingsmead in Durban offers a batting paradise with an average first innings score hovering around 170-180 in SA20 matches, offering real pace, bounce and aggressive T20 batting from this outfit. The pitch tends to slow down under lights and brings the spinners into the game – they have snared over 54% of the wickets here, turning and holding the main weapons for sides like DSG.
