Kingsmead Durban Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The average scoring rate in two SA20 matches at Kingsmead in Durban has been 9.30, signifying the track's batting-friendly nature in the tournament. The fast bowlers might find a hint of seam movement early on with the new ball; however, the team batting first will likely get the best batting conditions. 

However, the pitch at Kingsmead has favoured the spinners in the second innings in T20Is of late. In fact, JSK's spinners bagged fifty per cent of the total wickets in the second innings against DSG in the last game. So, the spinners could be in the game in the second half, with the toss-winner likely to bat first. 

Players To Watch Out For At Kingsmead Durban

Keshav Maharaj

• DSG's experienced spinner Keshav Maharaj is the most successful bowler in Durban in SA20, having scalped 12 wickets at a superb economy of 6.84. He bagged two crucial wickets in the last game and could play a key role for his team in this match. 

Marco Jansen

• Sunrisers Eastern Cape's premier all-rounder Marco Jansen starred with the bat in the last game. He can swing the new ball up front and trouble the SuperGiants' top order with his razor-sharp bowling in the powerplay. 

Heinrich Klaasen

• South Africa's swashbuckling cricketer Heinrich Klaasen is the most successful batter at Kingsmead, having struck 390 runs in 11 SA20 innings at an average of 39 and a strike rate of 183.09. If he gets going, Klaasen might emerge as a match-winner for DSG in this match. 

P.S: Apart from these players, the eyes will be on Jordan Hermann, Tristan Stubbs, Craig Overton, Prenelan Subrayen, Noor Ahmad and Wiaan Mulder.
