SCG Pitch Report

The Sydney pitch is generally a good batting game, but unlike traditional Australian pitches, it favours real speed and bounces. This is also the only Australian pack where the spinners come back a bit and help. In general, the surface slows down as the game progresses and makes the game a little harder.

Last Test result at the venue (Jan 4 – 8, 2023)

Australia – 475/4d (Pacers – 3w, Spinners – 1w)

South Africa – 255/10 (Pacers – 7w, Spinners – 3w) & 106/2 (Pacers – 2w, Spinners – 0w)
