SA vs IND, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The surface at St. George’s Park has a very good assistance for both pacers and spinners; the mark of 250 runs has crossed only three times in the last 5 ODI clashes played at this venue. The team batting first here has won the matches 20 times in comparison to the 21 times won by the team batting second. So, the captain winning the toss might ask the opponent to bat first.
