SSW vs STW Toss Prediction

The SCG wicket is likely to be good for batting throughout the game. However, the spinners might be a bit of a concern for the skipper while chasing a target. So, there may be a case here to bat first after winning the coin flip. But looking at the recent record at the ground for Women's T20 games, the winning skipper is likely to field first.

Pitch and Conditions

Generally, the wicket offered at the SCG will be favorable for the batters. The ball will come onto the bat, and the batters can play through the line. Over the years, spinners have done well here. That might be a factor, especially in the second inning. We are expecting clear skies for this contest. The sun will be out shining, and you can expect clear skies for the most part.
