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: The weather has been predicted to be mostly sunny during the day, while there is a slight chance of rain during the match hours with temperatures ranging between 19 and 13 degrees Celsius. The Captain winning the toss will be looking to bat first given the extremely favorable pitch and the track record of SCG.
Dependable Trio for D3:
⇨David Miller (SA) [captain]: Man in form David Miller will be on a high after a superb inning in the last match. He has had a tremendous year so far scoring at an average of 60+ and a strike rate of 171. He has only been dismissed once in the death overs in 7 innings. He has a fabulous record against Pakistan — an average of 45.4 and a strike rate of 147.
⇨ Rilee Rossouw (SA): Rossouw who started the tournament with a century will be another man that you should have eyes on. He has a strike rate of 157 against right-arm fast bowlers and will fare well against the likes of Naseem Shah, Md. Wasim Jr., and Haris Rauf. In at number 3, Rossouw who is likely to bat in the powerplay and the middle overs has an average of 70 between overs 5–15. His strike rate on the other hand keeps on increasing as the game progresses.
⇨ Haris Rauf (PAK): Having a career economy of just 8, Rauf is the perfectly suited bowler for Aussie conditions touching 150 clicks almost every time he bowls. He has a prolific record at the death, with 41 wickets at an economy of 8.19 in the last 5 overs. To add him to your triad in D3 you can choose OG Shahid Afridi (Bowler 4).
