VENUE COMMENTARY

The Sydney Cricket Ground is a batting-friendly venue with short square boundaries, making it ideal for stroke players. While the pitch slightly favors teams batting first, pacers tend to dominate the death overs. The Sydney Sixers have a slight edge over Sydney Thunder, but the latter's top-order firepower could turn the game on its head.
