SIX vs STA BBL Dream11 Pitch Report
The pitch at the SCG is tricky for batting. It generally aids the spinners and run-scoring is demanding for the batters. There will be some help for the pacers with the new ball. Teams may prefer chasing but batting first will be a good option as well. Scores in the range of 150-170 are expected in this game.
Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- Try to load up all the bowlers from the Sixers.
- Spinners from the 2nd innings will be very important.
- Death bowlers from the first innings and all-rounders will be good C/VC options.
