Newlands Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The Newlands pitch in SA20 2025 has largely favored batters, with an average run rate of 8.33, highlighting its suitability for stroke play. While the new ball may assist seamers with some movement, the overall pace and bounce make it an ideal batting surface.
Spinners haven’t found much assistance here, as the track offers true pace and carry rather than significant turn. As a result, batting conditions are expected to improve as the game progresses. Additionally, with three out of four matches at this venue being won by chasing teams, the toss-winning captain is likely to opt for bowling first.
