SIX vs THU, Sydney Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
When it comes to white-ball cricket, the SCG pitch is considered a good surface for batting. There is a prediction of rain and overcast conditions, which would offer some swing for the new ball pacers.
The outfield in case of such weather conditions is expected to get slow. Chasing would be the preferred option with rain around during the match between Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder today.
