The upcoming match is to be played at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg which has a watching capacity of 34,000 fans and it is predicted to be a full house on Sunday when both the teams face each other. This pitch like all the other pitches in South Africa has some better bounce and something extra for the seamers in it. But it is predicted to be an even contest between the bat and the ball. The team bowling first has almost the same winning percentage as the team bowling second but dew can play a major factor. The team winning the toss will choose to bowl first at this pitch because of the dew factor and fast outfield of the ground.

The weather forecast is going to be pleasant and nice in Johannesburg on Sunday evening when both these teams clash against each other. Rain is expected but should stay away from the match because the fans are waiting for this much-awaited match for a long time.
