PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Melbourne is expected to have sunny and breezy weather on matchday with bright sunshine. No weather or rain interruptions are expected.

Venue Details

MCG is a good batting surface but the larger dimensions on the ground will make it hard for batters to clear the boundary. The pitch might be slightly on the slower side and cause the oddball to stop.  We expect the average scores to be around 150-160 runs on this pitch, a safe bet with India's best betting sites.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch played alright for the most part in the last game with uneven pace. Both teams will look to put the opposition to bat on this track and plan their chase according to the target on line.
