Venue Guide (SCG, Sydney)
⇨Average Score: 162 (in 12 T20I matches since 2016)
⇨Win % Batting 1st: 50%
⇨Win % Batting 2nd: 33.3%
⇨ Ground Dimensions:
- Straight: 79*76
- Square: 70*65
- Square Diagonals: 72*76*74*68
⇨ Sydney which has long straight boundaries indicates full-length bowling mixed with pace variations to deceive the batter. The batting team will be looking to target the smaller square boundaries hopping onto anything which is even a fraction of an inch shorter.
⇨ Playing Conditions: Forecasts have predicted a ‘mostly sunny’ weather in Sydney tomorrow, with some chance of rainfall during the early hours of the day, however, no rain has been foreseen during the match. The predicted temperatures are between 21 and 14 degrees. Historically, teams winning the toss would bat first.
Dependable Trio for D3:
⇨ Glenn Phillips (NZ) [captain]: Phillips has had an average of 48 and a strike rate of 156 in T20Is this year, and has been the pick of the Kiwi batters. He possesses a strike rate of 182 in the final 6 overs where he is likely to bat for NZ. He is in form with a century, a 50+ score, and some explosive cameos in the tournament.
⇨ Kane Williamson (NZ): Williamson has been steady with the runs this tournament — when NZ has lost wickets early on in their innings. Some may argue about his strike rate, but he shut all critics with a splendid 61 off 35 in the last match. He maintains a strike of over 120 and has a healthy average of 35 while batting in the middle overs (7–15) where he steadies the innings, setting up a platform for the finishers. He plays pace and bounce well and can be added to your D3 team.
⇨ Shadab Khan (PAK): Pakistan’s number 1 all-rounder, Shadab has impressed everyone with his game this season. He has picked up 10 wickets in 5 matches and has a 50+ score to his name. Moreover, he has been consistent with his bowling, achieving an economy of just 6.22 with a bowling strike rate of just 11. He is in tremendous form and should be added to your trio in D3.
