The Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The surface at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg generally favours batters. The fast bowlers might get a hint of assistance early on with the new ball, but overall, the conditions are expected to be excellent for batting. The stadium is situated 6000 feet above sea level, so the ball travels farther when hit in the air. 

So, after getting set, batters will likely go aerial and make the most of the conditions. The spinners generally don't get significant assistance at this venue. On the other hand, the fast bowlers will try to vary the pace and hit the deck to succeed with the ball. Considering it's only the second match of this SA20 season at the Wanderers, the toss-winner will likely bowl first. 

Players To Watch Out For At Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg

Leus du Plooy

  • JSK's explosive batter Leus du Plooy is the most successful batter in Johannesburg in SA20, having amassed 455 runs at an average of 56.87 and a strike rate of 156.89. He has slammed four half-centuries in 12 innings at this venue and could play a valuable role for the Super Kings in this game. 

Senuran Muthusamy

  • Most of the JSK batters fell prey to DSG's wily spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Prenelan Sunrayen in their last SA20 match. So, Pretoria Capitals' in-form spinner Senuran Muthusamy, who has bagged five wickets in two games, could be effective once again. 

Will Jacks

  • JSK don't have a formidable new ball bowling attack. So, Pretoria Capitals' Will Jacks might exploit Johannesburg's batting-friendly track and score some valuable runs for his team. 

Gerald Coetzee

  • JSK's ace speedster Gerald Coetzee is one of the most successful bowlers at this venue. In five SA20 matches, Coetzee has bagged ten wickets in Johannesburg at a magnificent strike rate of 8.9. 

P.S: Apart from these players, the eyes will be on Daryn Dupavillon, Donovan Ferreira, Faf du Plessis, Liam Livingstone and Jimmy Neesham.
