England Champions vs South Africa Champions: Pitch Report
This is the first of the two games that will be played in Leicester. So far, the ground has hosted 22 ODI matches and just one Test match in international cricket. The venue is yet to host a T20I game. Given that this is a tournament of former players, the pitch is expected to be batting-friendly. AB De Villiers himself has scored some runs in the series. Eoin Morgan will look to score some runs himself in this match. Overall, batting-friendly conditions are expected.
