THU vs SCO: Pitch Report

The wicket at Sydney Showground Stadium is good for batters. It generates good bounce and pace for the bowlers, and there will be swing for the first few overs. Batters can use the bounce to play their shots.

The wicket will slow down a bit, which will aid the spinners or medium pacers. As the ball is expected to grip more in the second innings. Hence, batting first is recommended at this venue.
