SYS vs BRH, BBL Final pitch report: After one and a half months of riveting action, the BBL 13 is set to close with the two finalists looking to punch the other one in the final knockout. It will be a rematch of last week's qualifier between two-time champions Sydney Sixers and the 2012-13 winners Brisbane Heat fighting it out for the glory at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground.

Sydney Cricket Ground pitch report
The Sydney Cricket Ground pitch is one that offers enough help to the batters. The ball comes well on the bat and the batters can play through the line. However, the spinners have also enjoyed success at the venue as the ball turns when the match heads forward.
