SA vs AUS, Pitch Report:
Senwes Park, Potchefstroom, is a great venue for cricket matches. The pitch here is very well maintained. Recent pitch records suggest the team that wins the toss should bat first. Fast bowlers perform well early in the match. Later, as the pitch slows, spinners can get more turn and bounce. This makes batting difficult and helps bowlers take wickets more easily.
