The Sydney weather is often a concern when international cricket is around. However, the forecast looks good for the big T20 World Cup Semi-Final between New Zealand and Pakistan on Wednesday.
New Zealand are used to playing at this stage of big tournaments. Pakistan’s good record in T20 World Cups has continued. Also, Babar Azam’s team have hit form at the right time. They enter the semi-finals stage thanks to victory over Bangladesh after Netherlands’ stunning win against South Africa on Sunday.

SCG weather forecast for NZ vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022 Semi Final

The Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology (bom.gov.au) forecasts a mostly sunny day for Sydney on Wednesday, with a maximum temperature of 23 degrees. As has been the case for most of this World Cup, conditions will be mild under lights, with temperatures expected to drop below 20 degrees in what should be a comfortable evening for players and spectators.
bom.gov.au does predict a 20% chance of rain throughout the day. If there is any rain, it should be very minimal.
According to AccuWeather’s hourly forecast, there is a 0% chance of precipitation all day, with clear conditions between the 7-11pm time slot for the big semi-final.
Runs on the board key at the SCG
The SCG has favoured teams batting first in this tournament. The average first innings score is 178.4 in five matches at Sydney in this World Cup, with scores gradually getting lower (200, 205, 179, 167, 141).
New Zealand won twice comfortably on this ground against Australia and Sri Lanka, while Pakistan beat South Africa easily last week.
The winner will go on to play either India or England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday.
