The Ground: Straight boundaries at 79-80 meters are among the longest, while square boundaries at 65-68 meters are among the shortest—creating clear targeting zones for batters.

The Pitch: The pitch typically favors batting with spin assistance—medium pacers varying their pace prove most effective, while express pace struggles to extract consistent bounce. Hitting 6s is not easy here as the pitch slows down a little in the middle overs.

Bowling: Spinners have an excellent economy of 7.10 on this ground and leg break bowlers do well here. Although pacers take more wickets, spinners decide the total score here. Chohan should be effective today for the Sixers.

Batting: Runs here are mostly scored in singles and doubles and with a 50% boundary percentage and averaging 9 sixes per match, batsmen have to work hard for runs. The top 4 batsmen score almost 67% of the team runs, meaning that once batsmen are set, they can make big scores. Both teams have deep batting line up. Philippe, Silk and Henriques have good record on this venue and for stars, it has been average.

Teams: In both H2H and venue performance, the Sixers are ahead of the Stars. The Stars have won only 3 out of 9 matches played here. Whereas, the Sixers have a 62% win rate at their home. Going by form, the Stars have started the BBL in fine fashion and the Sixers have been a little scratchy in their bowling and fielding. In the last 10 matches here, Sixers have won 6.

Toss Advantage: As per the ground stats, toss is not important at this venue and only 11 matches out of 28 have been won by the toss winning team.

Match Prediction: Considering all factors, Sydney Sixers are favorites to win the match with a 58% win chance in a very close match due to their home record. Stars have the momentum but the Sixers have more depth. Anything over 180 should be defended and scores below 150 should be chased. A medium scoring match is expected with the 1st innings total in the range of 165 -185.
