PITCH REPORT:
It offers a fine balance between bat and ball as well, While the bowlers get some assistance early on with mostly genuine bounce, as it gets old, the batsmen can play their strokes freely. However, generally, the spinners do not get much of a purchase at the MCG.Interesting facts about the MCG:
It was at the MCG, on February 11, 1984, that an ODI ended in a tie for the first time, both West Indies and Australia made 222.
