DUR vs JOH pitch report for SA20 2023, Match 2

In the last four T20Is at Kingsmead, Durban has an average first-innings score of 177. However, Durban is known to offer more help to the spinners in comparison to other venues in the country. Pacers accounted for 65 percent of the wickets across the last four T20Is but spin had a big say as well. The powerplay phase might not be fruitful for bowlers, with only 10 percent of the wickets falling in the first six overs in the last four T20Is. Chasing might be the preferred option given the record at the venue.
