PR vs SEC SA20 2025 Pitch Report: How Will Surface At SuperSport Park in Centurion Behave?

The surface at the SuperSport Park in Centurion generally provides considerable assistance for batting. While the venue has hosted two low-scoring affairs this season, it was primarily due to the poor application by the batters. The average first innings total here after five matches of SA20 2025 has turned out to be 166. The wicket here also has some assistance for the fast bowlers. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing teams have won three of the five matches played at the venue off late.
