The track at the Wanderers Stadium is more helpful to batters than it is to bowlers in nature. The ball comes on to the bat well here, and so the batters are expected to up a good total on the board while there would be some help off the pitch for pacers, too. Teams prefer to chase the total after winning the toss, with the average first innings score being 158.
