Match Prediction Best Odds
Lions vs Western Province Toss Prediction
Known as the "Bullring," Wanderers offers a hard and bouncy pitch that traditionally favours fast bowlers, especially on the first day. The surface provides significant seam movement early on but flattens out later, making batting progressively easier. On the fourth and fifth days, the pitch may develop cracks, offering assistance to spinners and making batting challenging. Captains often opt to bowl first at Wanderers to exploit the early assistance for pacers and aim for early breakthroughs.
Weather Report
On November 21, 2024, Johannesburg is expected to experience cloudy weather with late showers. Temperatures will range from a low of 17°C to a high of 28°C. The chance of rain is moderate, with approximately 2.5 mm expected later in the day.
