Pitch Report:

The fourth ODI between South Africa and Pakistan will be at Wanderers Stadium. The pitch is known as “The Bullring”, owing to the intimidating atmosphere and its rotund design that is a part of the great sporting complex in South Africa redeveloped in 1991 following South Africa’s entry to the International Cricket. The wicket is on the slower side and it will be advantageous for the spinners for getting a good grip on the surface.
