IND vs SA Live Score: Pitch report
Long hit down the ground – 82m but the leg side boundary is 67m. Not surprised to see India bowl first, they bowled first in the series before the World Cup. The surface is quite dry, and pacers have been more effective on this track. This is a little more grass in the 6-8m mark. India need to ensure SA don’t get to the a fast start, make use of the conditions
