Pitch Report

The pitch at Sydney Showground Stadium in Sydney is generally a balanced surface, which is helpful for both batters and bowlers. Bowlers will get good pace and bounce. Moreover, they also receive a slight movement in the first power play. However, batters can also perform well if they play focused in the first power play. Batting first is easier on this surface in the first innings, so toss-winning captains will choose to bat first.
