Australia vs South Africa: Cazaly Stadium Pitch ReportÂ
An unfamiliar surface for hosting a cricket match, as the Cazaly Stadium has a history of hosting only five ODIs in the past. The stadium features a drop-in pitch, which is dry and expected to be balanced for these contests. Batters would look to go after the pacers, while spinners can hold them off in the middle overs. A debut T20I for the Cazaly Stadium — a high-scoring match is on the cards.
