Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney is one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, and this ground will be hosting a couple of ICC T20 World Cup 2022 matches today. Australia and New Zealand played here earlier, where New Zealand registered an easy win.
South Africa vs Bangladesh & India vs Netherlands will take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground, but there is a threat of rain in both matches. South Africa started their innings with a bang against the Bangladeshi bowlers, and they would want to get a win.
The match between India and Netherlands should be an easy one for the Indian side, and they have already confirmed that they will be playing with their full-strength squad in this match. If the weather stays well, the Indian team is expected to cruise in this one.
