IND vs SA 1st T20I: Durban Pitch Report!
"An overcast and blustery Kingsmead for this first T20I between South Africa and India. A very strong breeze coming across the ground. Players are going to be aware, captains are going to be aware tactic-wise. It is going to influence massively. Just 56m boundary at one side on the square plus the breeze, it will be hard to defend. Watch out for wide yorkers as bowlers would want the batters to hit into the breeze and into the longer boundaries. As far as the surface goes, it is really hard. There has been rain in the buildup but there is a nice grass covering and it is very hard. The ball will carry through nicely and there might be a bit of moisture. If I win the toss, I will bowl first. Let me see how this goes and get early assistance and put the opposition under pressure early on. Also, I know what to chase. There is a risk of maybe, just maybe a bit of rain later in the day. So overs may get deducted. The better position would be to bat second. So win the toss and bowl first, there will be nice bounce and carry on this surface," By Shaun Pollock.
