Weather Report
We will likely get some showers early in the morning in Kingsmead Durban. This patchy rain might delay the start of the game. But the weather will clear by the afternoon, and we will get a game on Saturday. The temperatures will be close to 24 degrees, and the relative humidity will be close to normal.
Pitch Report
The Kingsmead Cricket Ground has a seating capacity of 25,000 people. The surface will offer balanced conditions between the bat and the ball. The bowlers will be able to get a decent bounce from the track, and the fast bowlers will get more help than spinners from this surface. But there will also be opportunities for the batters to play their shots.
