SA vs Eng Live Streaming 1st T20I: Pitch report
The Buffalo Park stadium is usually a high-scoring ground. In the past five T20Is contested, batting teams have easily crossed the 165-mark on all occasions. The pitch will provide some assistance to spinners in the middle overs with some swing on offer for the pacers as well. Expect the captain winning the toss to chase first.
