NZ vs SL Pitch Report
The pitch at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is a good batting pitch and we usually see high scoring matches on the pitch.
Pacers do not get as much bounce and carry on this ground as compared to the other grounds in Australia, however due to lack of bounce we can see more number of LBW’s and bowled so pacers who attack the stumps will be important.
Spinners get some help from the surface, the ball grips and offers some spin and plays a bit slow as well.
Captains might prefer to post a good score and look to defend it, the last 3 matches on this ground have been won by the team batting first.
Expect a score between 170-180.

NZ vs SL Fantasy Cricket Tips
Only spinners are the part of Sri Lankan Team who can change the match to thier favour, So trust W Hasaranga in this match.
Everyone will go with D Conway as Captain.
F Allen is hard hitting batsmen, He will open and pacers are not doing for SL but M Theekshana will also bowl in Powerplay and he can pick his wicket.
K Mendis and D De Silva are technical batsmen and C Asalanka is in good form.
K Williamson and D Conway are technical batsmen and G Philips is also good batsmen in middle order.
J Neesham is not bowling is recent match so pick him as batsmen only and he bats too late.
