Pitch Report
The Sydney Cricket Ground track has been fantastic for batsmen, especially in the second innings. Pacers have a habit of getting early purchase from this surface. As a result, the captain who wins the coin toss must choose to field first. Anything under 160 will be difficult to defend on this pitch.
Weather Report
The weather is clear. There is no possibility of rain interrupting the match.
