The track at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney has always been an excellent track to bat on, and it has been seen in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 as well. This is a ground where batting first has been the key to success, and the fresh track is heaven for the batters up front.
A total of 6 T20 World Cup 2022 games have been played at this ground, where 5 of them have been won by the teams batting first. The average 1st innings score here has been 179 runs, which is an indication that the teams batting first have done wonders here so far.
This is the most spin-friendly wicket in Australia, and the spinners will again play a very important part on this track. The dry nature of this wicket will assist the spinners, and in the 2nd innings especially, it will be really difficult to hit them. This is a track where the sub-continent sides will thrive.
The square boundaries at this ground are very small, and the outfield is very fast as well. Both captains may opt to bat after winning the toss due to the nature of this wicket.
