Melbourne Cricket Ground Report

The pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) usually ensures a balanced battle between bat and ball in the T20 format. It provides good bounce and dribbling, which is beneficial to fast bowlers, especially in the early overs. The wide outfield emphasizes the importance of running fast between the wickets as hitting boundaries can be challenging. Seamer often takes advantage of the swing of the new ball, especially during night matches. Teams that win the toss often choose to bowl first to take advantage of conditions that favor the pacers early in the game.
