The Sydney Cricket Ground will kickstart the Super 12s on October 22 with the Trans-Tasman clash between Australia and New Zealand.
The pitch at the SCG has generally favoured the batters. The average T20I total in 10 completed matches at the ground is 161. Consequently, results have been fairly even, irrespective of the toss. In the 10 T20Is that have borne a result at the SCG, teams batting first have won four and lost five while one match ended in a tie.
India will be playing its second Super 12 match — against a qualifier from Group A — on October 27 at the SCG.
Sydney is India's most favoured venue in T20Is in Australia — it has won three of its four contests against the host. India is also the only team to successfully chase down two 190-plus targets in Sydney (in 59 matches).
