Sydney Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The SCG wicket is absolutely belter, especially while batting first. It is an appropriate surface to bat on but if India wins the toss would like to bowl first keeping rain in mind. Spinners do get some help on the SCG wicket unlike the other grounds of Australia. In the second innings bowlers who like to move their fingers across the seam will also get their reward.
The SCG is oval-shaped and has lon,g straight boundaries of about 93 metres and in comparison, the square boundaries measure about 73 metres. The stadium has an oval shape which makes the straight boundaries pretty long and the ground’s dimensions are 170m × 128m.
