Preview

South Africa (SA) will lock horns with West Indies (WI) in the first Test Match of the West Indies tour of South Africa at the Super Sport in Centurion from February 28. South Africa have not been doing well in recent times, as they have not won even one of their last five Test matches. They managed to draw their last game, though. On the other hand, West Indies have a better record as they have won two of their previous five matches. South Africa in their home pitches will be a tough fight for the West Indies.

Pitch Report

The track at the Super Sport offers a bowler-friendly pitch. The pacers will have fun here due to the double-paced nature of the pitch. They will enjoy good swing and bounce and can be seen troubling the batters. Teams would like to bat first as the pitch will deteriorate with time, and the average first innings score is 257.
