Pitch Report
Melbourne’s pitch frequently provides a perfect balance between bat and ball. This is one place where the speed bowlers with the new ball could potentially receive some decent bounce and carry the wicket early. But, on the other hand, spinners might not have much effect. Captains could follow the tradition of bowling first after winning the toss.
Weather Updates
Cloudy skies with light rain (60%)
