Sydney Cricket Ground pitch report
Sydney Cricket Ground is one of the best batting tracks in Australia, and it is one of the driest tracks as well. The pitch here has been excellent for batting in the past as well. There is an even bounce on the track, and the batters can play their shots easily by trusting the bounce of the wicket.
A total of 7 matches were played here in the recent ICC T20 World Cup 2022, where five of them were won by the teams batting first. The average 1st innings score here was 175 runs, which proves that it has been a great track for batting. It is to note that the pitch gets slower in the 2nd innings, where spinners take advantage of the conditions.
The side boundaries of this ground are really small, and the outfield is excellent as well, which is a great thing for the batters. It is certain that the spinners will play a big part in this match as well. Both captains may opt to bat first upon winning the toss.
