ENG vs AUS Pitch Report
Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne is an ideal venue for the big T20 World Cup match like England vs Australia. In this T20 World Cup, MCG’s nice green grass has helped the top-quality seamers. Due to the challenging weather conditions, we have also experienced top-quality swing bowling performances. However, the spinners are not strong options to provide breakthroughs.
MCG is now popular for chasing teams in the T20I format. However, the 160+ totals are enough challenging to chase, especially against the strong fast bowling line-ups.
Toss prediction: Win the toss and bowl first.
