PRE vs EAC Match Details
Pretoria Capitals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape, Final, SA20 2023
Venue: The Wanderers, Johannesburg
Date & Time: February 11, 8:00 PM IST
Pitch Report:
The 22-yard strip at Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium has proven to be a good batting surface. However, with the new ball, the pacers may find some movement early in the contest. Furthermore, as the game progresses, the surface becomes slower, making it more difficult for batters to score runs. Batting first should be the strategy, and any score above 165 can be considered a good enough total to defend.
