Pitch Condition/Report:

The Mangaung Oval in the ongoing season has been quite opposite to what it was during the 2018/19 season. The venue witnessed the team batting first losing despite the totals of 323 and 282 last year. However, a change in trend was seen during the U19 CWC matches which produced low scoring fantasy leagues games. Even the first MODC game of the season here was won by the team batting first. Warriors won defending their total of 220 in the 42 over-a-side game.
