Pitch report:
The pitch for this match will likely help the batters. South Africa and Sri Lanka scored more than 700 runs in the last match at this venue. However, in the game before that, the Proteas were bowled out for 99 runs against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Hence, it is tough to predict how the pitch will behave.
