Weather Report

The temperature should be around 22 degrees when the game starts, with clear skies during the match.

Pitch Report

The surface at the SCG has been excellent for batting, with big runs being scored in the matches played. The spinners get more help from the pitch here in comparison to the other Australian venues. The average first-innings score during the last three T20s played on this ground has been 191 runs.

Toss

With dew expected to play a big role, it will be an advantage to the batters while chasing here. The team bowling first has managed to win 2 out of the 3 T20s played here this season. A first-innings score of around 185 runs can be pretty competitive on this ground.

Top Fantasy Picks

Wicketkeeper

  • Josh Philippe has cooled down a little after a red-hot start to the tournament. He is the highest run-scorer so far, with 295 runs in 6 matches at an average of 59 and a strike rate of 151.28. He has made 3 half-centuries but has been dismissed for low scores in the last 2 matches.

Batter

  • James Vince seems to be returning to scoring runs consistently for Sydney at the top of the order. Although he is yet to reach 50 in the 6 matches played, a total of 144 runs at an average of 24 suggests a big inning is coming soon from him.

All-Rounder

  • James Bazley is currently the highest wicket-taker for Brisbane H in this tournament. He has taken 9 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 8.34 and the best figures of 3/28 against Melbourne R. He has also made 44 runs with the bat with a high score of 16.

Bowler

  • Mark Steketee has been excellent with the ball for Brisbane H in his 3 matches played. He has taken 8 wickets at an average of 12.37, including two 3-wicket hauls in the last 2 matches. He is handy with the bat also, scoring 42 runs at a strike rate of 110.52.
