Pitch Condition/Report:
The track at Boland Park is expected to go in favour of the fast bowlers. The batsmen find it difficult to score runs against them on this ground. The fast bowlers have the lowest economy rate in comparison to the spinners and orthodox bowlers. However, the stats says that the side winning the toss will most probably look to field to be on a safer side.
