IND vs AUS 3rd ODI Sydney Cricket Ground Stadium Pitch Report: Indian players in action. (AP photo)IND vs AUS 3rd ODI Sydney Cricket Ground Stadium Pitch Report: Shubman Gill’s India will take on Mitchell Marsh’s Australia on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. The hosts have already won the series with their win in Adelaide on Thursday. While bowling for India has done a decent job, it is the batting that has seemed off-color in both games. As per Australia, in the first ODI, both batting and bowling came through, and in the second ODI, when the side was in a bit of pickle, young Cooper Connelly took them over the line.
Sydney has been a wicket that is traditionally conducive to batting. However, it is still early season in the Australian domestic calendar, hence there might be a bit of help for bowlers. The wicket at Sydney does help the seamers who bend their backs, and spinners do get a bit of purchase if they impart enough revs on the ball.
According to Accuweather app the temperature for Saturday remains pleasant for cricket in Sydney. The maximum temperature is 25 degrees and the minimum temperature is 17 degrees. Both sides will be tempted to chase after the results in the first two games, as the pitch will get better under the lights to bat on.
