Though it's Match No.3 of the CSA T20 League 2021, both teams play their first game of the season.
The wicket hasn't played much for the batsmen as such and the run rate has been on the lower part, unless one particular batsman ends up scoring and staying on that wicket.
The first game won by the team chasing, the second game won by the team batting first. It's still the early phase of the tournament but somehow the spinners have been effective with Shamsi's 3 wickets and Maharaj picking 4. So, one can keep an eye on an experienced spinner like Phangiso who could do well on these wickets.
