MICT vs DSG Pitch Report of Newlands:

The pitch at Newlands for the season opener of the SA20 between MI Cape Town and Durban Super Giants is expected to be good for batting, meaning that the upcoming contest should be a high-scoring one.

Your daily dose of cricket!

The surface across venues is good to bat on with good bounce, which can be trusted by the batters to hit the ball on the up.

The extra bounce, which is one of the features of grounds in this art of the world, including Newlands, makes hitting the ball on the up easy.

The short boundaries on offers at Newlands in Cape Town also play in favour of the batters, as a miss-hit also tends to clear the boundary with ease, giving them full value for their shots

That is the reason why the team that wins the toss at this venue generally prefers to chase, as defending isn’t an easy task at Newlands.

As far as the bowlers are concerned, both pacers and spinners will have their task cut out and will have to depend on variations to get whatever purchase is available in the wicket.

The fast bowlers can use different types of cutters and slower balls that they have in their arsenal to restrict the batters from scoring freely against the new ball, and at the backend of the innings.

If we talk about the spinners, they can also vary their space and make the batters hit towards the long part of the ground so as to get them out stumped or caught on the boundary.

The team that bats first in the MICT vs DSG match should look to score at least 210-200 to have an upper hand in the game and back their bowlers to pick early wickets in the second innings.

The chasing team would bank on the bowlers to restrict the team batting first to a score of less than 200 runs to increase their chance of winning the match in question.

Conclusion

MI Cape Town would hope for a good start to the fourth edition of the SA20 with the aim of building on it in order to have a good chance of defending their title.

Durban Super Giants, on the other hand, would also hope to begin the tournament with a win under the leadership of Aiden Markram, who has already won back-to-back titles in the first two seasons of the league.
