The surface at the Newlands is likely to have favourable conditions both for the batters and bowlers throughout the Test match. The rain gods are unlikely to cause any interruption on all of the five days in this series-decider. The good quality of bounce will help both the batters and fast bowlers while the spinners will also come into play at some point of time in the Test match. However, picking more of fast bowlers and batters will be a good decision.
