Pitch Report

The first game of the season at the Cricket Central in Sydney was abandoned due to rain. The surface here might have a lot to offer to both batters and bowlers. The average first innings score stands at 116 runs, which signifies that the match might be a low-scoring affair. Spinners will likely play a huge role here and go on to dominate in both innings.
