Sydney Showground Stadium pitch report for T20
The third BBL game of the current season will be played at Sydney Showground Stadium. It is reasonable to say that the pacers have dominated on this ground, and the pitch has aided them much. Sydney Thunder were dismissed for 15 runs at this venue, where Adelaide Strikers’ quicks decimated the batting onslaught.
A few BBL 12 games have been played here, with an average first-inning score of 130 runs. In the previous match, Sydney Thunder defeated Brisbane Heat by a margin of ten wickets, scoring 121/6. So, if the hitters put in the effort, scoring runs should be rather easy.
The pacers will clearly benefit from the new ball and will cause problems for the batsmen. The outfield here is pretty quick, and the boundaries are not particularly large. This is a decent track for a T20 encounter, and after winning the toss, the captains are anticipated to bowl first.
Weather Forecast
There will be no rain and the playing conditions will be excellent. Temperatures will hover around 22 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be around 60%.
