Sydney Cricket Ground Pitch Report

The surface is flat and hard and the ball will come on to the bat nicely. Furthermore, the outfield is quick and there will be plenty of pockets available for doubles and triples due to the big dimensions of the ground. The spinners might come into the play with their variations and the big boundaries will help them in luring the batters to go for the big shots. Nevertheless, the batters are expected to dominate the proceedings at this venue.
