Pitch Condition:
Wanderers, Johannesburg
This is the most batting-friendly wicket of South Africa. You can see scores in the vicinity of 200 runs if the batsmen play well. Boundaries of this stadium are short. Some time 2nd inning teams got out on less scores due to run score pressure. Spinners generally don’t get any support on this wicket but you should try spinners of the 2nd inning on this wicket in the GL teams as sometimes they get good amounts of wickets as batsmen try to attack them due to run score pressure.

South Africa Team Preview:
They have lost 4 of the last 5 T20 series. They are badly hampered by the unavailability of the star players. K Rabada, A Nortje, L Ngidi, and D Miller are unavailable due to IPL while D Pretorious, Reeza Hendricks, T Bavuma, and RV Dussen are unavailable due to different-2 reasons. H Klaasen will captain this inexperienced side.
R V Dussen will have a late fitness test however his chance of playing is very slim. Highly talented S Magala has high chances of making his debut in this game.
