Supersport Park curator Bryan Bloy has stated that the upcoming Test match between India and South Africa could pose challenges for the batters. The track is expected to favor the fast bowlers due to rain threats, leading to a drop in temperature. Bloy also mentioned that spinners are unlikely to receive much assistance. He expressed uncertainty about the conditions on the opening day but hoped for some play on Day 3. Bloy emphasized the goal of preparing a typical Centurion wicket with a green surface. However, he acknowledged that rain could affect the spinners’ performance. Bloy highlighted that batting first might be tough if the track remains under cover for a significant period. He also mentioned that communication with the Proteas team is minimal, allowing the curators to prepare the wicket according to Supersport Park’s characteristics. The Centurion pitch typically starts slow and soft on the first day but gradually becomes quicker and variable. The Test match is set to begin on December 26.,
