The Wanderers is legendary, plain and simple. This ground has seen countless memorable battles. Today marks the first SA20 2026 game here. Expect runs, lots of them. The pitch report looks mouth-watering for batters.
This wicket is made for strokeplay and aggressive cricket. The ball comes onto the bat beautifully. But don’t count out the fast bowlers just yet. There’s extra zip and bounce that could trouble batsmen. Any captain winning the toss should think 220-plus to feel safe.
