PR vs SEC, SA20 Match 3 Pitch Report

Advertisment

Boland Park is one of the rarest slow wickets in South Africa with a good amount of help for the spinners. Batters can also target a big score in the powerplay overs but might struggle against an old ball in the latter stages of the innings.

The average first innings score here is just 130 with teams batting first winning six of ten T20I games in Paarl.
