Port Elizabeth is expected to have a partly cloudy weather with just 10% chances of rain on the match day. We expect to have a full match with no weather interruptions.  

Venue Details

St. George`s park pitch will be subjected to wear and tear owing to its used nature and the ball might stop and come onto the bat. Batters must settle down before taking on the bowlers. Batsmen need to apply themselves before dominating the bowlers in this match. We expect the average scores around 150-160 runs

 

Toss: To Bat

The pitch is slowing down as the tournament progresses and teams will opt to bat first as batting becomes difficult in the second innings considerably.
