South Africa tour of West Indies, WI vs SA, 3rd T20I:
Date and time: May 26; 7:00 pm GMT/ 2:00 pm local/ 12:30 am (May 27) IST
Venue: Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
Sabina Park Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sabina Park offers a well-rounded playing surface that caters to both batters and bowlers. At the outset of the innings, the new ball exhibits movement and seam, favouring the seam bowlers. However, as the game progresses, spinners come into play with the ageing ball. With time, batters find it increasingly comfortable to accumulate runs, making chasing a prevalent strategy on this pitch.
