About NRMA Insurance Pink Test Day 2 - Australia v New Zealand

Day two of a five-day Test is where matches often turn, as bowlers who toiled the day before look to break through with the second new ball and batting sides try to build the innings that decides the game. The Pink Test carries extra weight beyond the scoreline, with the McGrath Foundation's fundraising for breast care nurses woven into the day, including the traditional pink-clad crowd and on-field tributes. Expect a full day of cricket from the opening session through to the close, with the crowd building steadily as the contest develops.

Where to stay nearby

Sydney is the obvious base, just 3km from the SCG, with 179 hotels in our catalog covering everything from the CBD to the eastern suburbs, so you can walk, catch a short bus ride, or take a quick taxi to the ground on the day. Blacktown, about 32km out in Sydney's west, is a cheaper alternative with 15 hotels listed, though you'll want to allow extra time for the train journey into the city and onward to the SCG, especially given the late 9.30pm start on a weeknight. Most visitors find Sydney's proximity and range of accommodation makes it the simpler choice for a Test match that runs across several days.

Sydney — about 3 km away

Sydney itself puts you steps from the venue and in the midst of restaurants, bars, and cultural attractions. You'll walk or take a very short local trip to reach the ground.

Blacktown — about 32 km away

Blacktown is a suburban hub 32km west of the venue, offering a quieter base with fewer lodging options. Reaching the ground from here requires a longer journey by car or public transport, making it better suited to visitors with their own transport or flexibility on travel time.
