Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua Pitch Report
"67m and 61m square boundaries and 74m straight down the ground. Wind is coming across the ground so it will assist hitting to the short boundary. It doesn't give a really good look. Games played here have been low scoring. Pacers have to stay back of a length because you get some extra bounce as well. I think Nortje will have good success. Spinners have to pitch it up and spin the ball. There is some debris in some parts so the ball will spin," Shaun Pollock and Waqar Younis reckoned ahead of the South Africa vs USA Super 8 match played here on Wednesday, June 19.
USA gave South Africa a tough fight after opting to field first at the high-scoring and batting-friendly venue. South Africa scored 194/4 as USA pacer Saurabh Netravalkar and spinner Himmat Singh picked two wickets each. In reply, USA were restricted to 176/6. South Africa pacers picked four wickets, while spinner two.
The average inning score in the last five T20I is 114. It's low because teams like Oman, and Namibia were bundled out cheaply. The second-last match was also curtailed to a 10-over per-side game. Teams winning the toss have opted to bat first 57 percent of the time in the last five years.
