North Sydney Oval Pitch Report
Known for its batting-friendly conditions, the North Sydney Oval features short boundaries and a flat pitch. While fast bowlers might enjoy some early movement with the new ball, the pitch is expected to become more batsman-friendly as the match progresses. The team winning the toss is likely to elect to bat first to capitalize on these conditions.
