Match Details:
South Africa Women vs West Indies Women, 1st ODI
Venue: The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
Date & Time: January 28th at 5:30 PM IST and 2:00 PM Local Time
Pitch Report:
Historically the surface here at Wanderers assisted the seamers for the maximum extent having said the batters have also performed well. Since it’s a day and night game, batting first is a good option.
