Cape Town Pitch For Shortest-ever Test Match Rated "unsatisfactory" By ICC
ICC Match Referee Chris Broad: The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday that the pitch for the recently-concluded second Test between South Africa and India at Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town, which is now the shortest-ever completed Test match, has been rated as “unsatisfactory”.
The decision, made under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process, comes after the Test match between South Africa and India lasted just 642 balls, which adds up to 107 overs, in total. ICC Match Referee Chris Broad submitted his report expressing the concerns of the match officials.
ICC added that after the match ended, Broad also consulted captains of South Africa and India, Dean Elgar and Rohit Sharma respectively, both of whom felt that the pitch was below standard.
