PITCH REPORT
In the previous five T20 matches played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the average first innings score was 160 runs. At this location, the team that bats first has had a lot of success, and the team that wins the toss may choose to bat. It is likely that the pacers will outnumber the spinners.
They have won three games in a row, and interestingly, they have chased targets down every time. The Scorchers’ strong batting can be seen in the fact that they have only lost six wickets in their last three matches. Nine wickets separated them from Sydney Thunder in their previous match.
The pitch at the Sydney location has been good for batting. There may not be much room for the bowlers to make mistakes. The best course of action for teams should be to win the toss and field first.
