NZ vs SL Pitch Report
In the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney has come up with good batting pitches. In all three matches of this competition, while the first batting teams comfortably scored runs, the chasing teams completely failed to handle the pressure.
Five out of the last six T20Is at this venue have only seen the success of the first batting teams (the other one had a tie result as the winner was decided through the one-over eliminator).
Not only the pacers, but spinners also play useful roles at this venue, especially on the used pitches.
At Sydney Cricket Ground, the first batting team always have good chances to put big totals on the board, especially on fresh pitches. On the other hand, chasing becomes more difficult in the used pitches of this venue.
Toss prediction: Win the toss and bat first.
