Boland Park Paarl Pitch Report.

Following an exciting albeit emotionally draining test series, India and South Africa are set to square off in an ODI series at the latter’s home turf. The first (and second) of the 3 matches will be played at Paarl’s Boland Park stadium, and that’s the match we will be previewing in this article. Read on to find out the pitch report and other relevant details for the first ODI at Boland Park, Paarl. 

Team News

Even with regular captain Rohit Sharma sitting out the series with an injury, stand-in captain KL Rahul will have a selection headache of choosing his best partner. While Shikhar Dhawan provides a pedigreed option up-top, the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan could get the nod ahead of him owning to better form. Venkatesh Iyer also presents himself as a strong contender, but he’s almost certain to feature in the middle-order. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Venkatesh should round up the top 6 batting lineup. 

Shardul Thakur seems to be a lock-in in the playing XI, especially considering the lack of notable all-rounders. Ravichandran Ashwin also stands in good stead of making his ODI comeback. Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah pick themselves as the most experienced bowlers of the pack. A third, wicket-taking pacer would ideally round off the team, and it could be any one of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, or Deepak Chahar. 

South Africa will be playing their first white-ball assignment since the WT20 that concluded in March, so expect a fair amount of players to make a reappearance into this lineup. Captain Temba Bavuma will be opening alongside Quinton de Kock. Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, and David Miller slot in next, followed by a long tail of all-rounders. Dwaine Pretorius has looked really impressive in recent times, while Marco Jansen’s recent test exploits should serve him well in the LOI lineup.

Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj establish themselves as the team’s best spinners, while Kagiso Rabada picks himself as the leader of the attack. The last spot could be a toss-up between an extra fourth-pacer or a batsman like Janeman Malan- should the hosts decide to go for added batting stability. 

Paarl Cricket Stadium ODI records 

Teams defending have had a marginal advantage on this surface. Like most surfaces in the country, the pitch favors fast bowlers more despite the surprising fact that the leading wicket-taker on this ground is Anil Kumble (7 wickets in 3 innings), an overseas spinner. Expect good batting conditions on this venue to produce high-scoring matches.
