Sydney will have a dark and cloudy weather on the match day with just 75% chances of rain by the forecasters. Rain interruptions are expected in this game.

Sydney is a good pitch to bat on with only little assistance for the spinners. The pitch might slow down as the match progresses and chasing becomes slightly difficult under lights. We expect the average scores to be around 160-180 runs in this match.

Teams batting first 3 out of the 4 matches played here and rain brought DLS equation in two of those matches. We expect both captains to bat first if they win the toss mostly.
