SA vs AUS: Pitch Report
The Senwes Park surface is generally flat and has traditionally favoured high-scoring games. However, seam movement and swing can assist fast bowlers, particularly with the new ball. The overcast weather could provide additional help to the pacers.
With the conditions expected to favour fast bowling early on, the team winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.
