Johannesburg Stadium T20 Average Score: The Wanderers Stadium Average Score and Highest Successful T20 Run Chase

The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg is ready to host the series decider of the ongoing three-match T20I series between South Africa and West Indies. This series has been dominated by the batters so far, and the fans will expect a bit of the same here as well.

This will be the first T20I here after a spell of almost two years. In the last T20I here in 2021, South Africa defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets. The last T20 played at this stadium was the final match of the recently concluded inaugural season of SA20.

Considering the manner in which batters smashed the bowlers in the last T20I in Centurion, the bowlers would want some help from the track in Johannesburg. It has been seen that the tracks in Johannesburg have been competitive.
