MICT vs DSG Pitch Report
The records at Cape Town suggest that this ground tends to witness low-scoring matches, so spectators shouldn't anticipate high scores. The average total tends to decrease in the second innings, but teams batting second have recorded more victories than those defending, indicating that this is a challenging pitch where players need to apply themselves consistently. The pitch offers a fair amount of assistance to pacers due to uneven bounce, and even spinners can expect some support from the surface.
