Sydney Cricket Ground’s pitch is balanced for both departments. The last Big Bash season witnessed the batting first side crossing 175 runs in 21 out of 56 matches played here. Even a score of 200 was chased here. However, the ground has huge straight boundaries ranging 80 metres long. The square boundaries’ size reads 62-63 metres. This suggests that hitting sixes on this ground requires power, making it risky to go for the aerial route.
In the initial overs, the bowling side needs to maintain a tight line and length, aiming to secure early breakthroughs to restrict the opponent to a low score. The role of spinners becomes crucial in the middle overs. Due to the big boundaries, spinners and pacers who use variations can be effective here. Talking about the Par score, the team batting first should aim to score at least 180 to be considered a competitive total. In 56 matches played on this ground 27 matches batting 1st won and 28 matches won by 2nd batting.
