MR-W vs HH-W: Pitch Report
The pitch at the North Sydney Oval is known to be very good for batting. High-scoring matches are common here because the surface offers true bounce and allows batters to play their shots freely. The average first-innings score is around 151, which suggests teams can post strong totals. Because chasing teams often benefit from knowing the target, captains may choose to bowl first after winning the toss. Batters should spend some time at the crease before shifting to big-hitting mode.
