ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 West Indies vs South Africa LIVE SCORE: Pitch report

The red-soil pitch is expected to offer extra bounce early and increasing grip for spinners as it dries. With temperatures around 35°C, conditions will feel hotter in the middle, favouring teams familiar with the surface. The square boundaries show a 10-metre difference, while straight hits travel about 72 metres. The pitch has been heavily rolled, suggesting slight tackiness, and slower balls could be key — seamers have taken 53% of wickets here using change of pace.
