St George's Park Gqeberha Pitch Report For IND vs SA 2nd T20I

On Tuesday, hosts South Africa will cross swords against India in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series. The high-octane clash will be played at St George's Park in Gqeberha. 

The first match was abandoned due to a persistent downpour at the Kingsmead in Durban. So, this game provides both teams with a golden opportunity to secure a win and take an unassailable lead in the series. 

So, as both teams gear up for an exciting face-off, let's see how the pitch in Gqeberha will behave throughout the contest. 

St George's Park Gqeberha Pitch Report

The surface at St George's Park in Gqeberha will likely offer subtle seam movement to the pacers. We anticipate a fresh track for this game, so expect a decent batting deck with a hint of movement and extra bounce. 

However, the wicket won't be on the drier side, so the batters can capitalise on the conditions after negotiating the new ball burst. The spinners won't likely get substantial help off the deck, so they must rely on accuracy to succeed here. 

If we go by records, teams batting first have won two of the three completed T20Is in Gqeberha. However, with overcast conditions predicted, don't be surprised if the toss-winning team opts to bowl first.
