Ahead of the match, the pitch at Sydney Cricket Ground has undergone recent Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) action. The track favored high scores, with Adelaide Strikers posting 164 runs and Sydney Sixers chasing 124 comfortably. However, a fresh pitch is anticipated for the BBL clash, likely favoring batsmen, especially for the team batting first.

Analyzing historical data, in T20 matches, teams batting first won 12 out of 21 games at this ground. The average first innings score stands at 160, while the second innings average is 130. The venue's highest total is 221/5 by Australia against England, while the lowest is 101/10 by Bangladesh against South Africa.

Considering this pitch's tendencies, the toss-winning team may opt to field first, eyeing the advantage of chasing at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
