Sydney Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground offers a balanced playing surface, providing opportunities for both bowlers and batters. In the early stages, pacers can exploit the new ball, posing challenges for batters in their shot selection. As the ball ages, scoring becomes easier.
