Newlands Pitch Report:

The renowned Newlands Stadium pitch is notably favorable to bowlers, especially seamers who can exploit the extra movement generated by the track’s moisture. On the flip side, spinners face challenges in finding momentum on this surface. However, batters have the potential to accumulate significant runs if they spend some time in the middle. Winning the toss is likely to lead the team to choose bowling first, aiming to create early pressure.
