ST-W vs PS-W, Match 44: Pitch Report
In T20Is, the SCG often gives batsmen a good chance to score some quick runs. The pitch is not like MCG, Gabba or Perth where the ball gets good amount of bounce and carry but it rather plays a tad slow and the spinners too fancy their chances here. Perhaps, the one of the very frontline Australian ground where the spinners love to roll their arm over.
