North Sydney Oval pitch report
North Sydney Oval is generally batting friendly with consistent pace and bounce, often producing totals in the 160–170 range in T20s, especially when conditions are dry and under lights. Fast bowlers may get some early help from the new ball, but the surface becomes flatter, giving time and power the advantage, while spinners come into play as batsmen expand their range in the middle overs. Captains who win the toss may still choose to bat first in the knockouts, relying on scoreboard pressure at a venue where stroke-makers like Perry, Healy, Devine and Mooney can control the pace.
