SIX vs THU: Pitch Report
Australia’s Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is regarded as having one of the best batting decks. With sporadic variations in pace and bounce, the wicket at the location gives batters confidence in the bounce. This also allows them to strike through the ball’s line. As the game goes on, the pitch continues to become slower and starts to turn, hence spinners are quite important at the venue.
