How Will the St George's Park Pitch Behave?

The conditions at the St George's Park Cricket Ground in Gqeberha are generally considered to be conducive for batting. However, the latest match played at the venue this SA20 2025 season turned out to be a low-scoring affair. Fast bowlers might receive early assistance with the new ball, as evidenced by the recent result. The chasing teams seem to have a more favourable track record here in all SA20 games.
