MCG Pitch Report 

The fourth Test match between Australia and Team India will be played in Melbourne from tomorrow. The Melbourne pitch offers good bounce and speed. On this ground, fast bowlers get a lot of help from the new ball, because there is grass on the pitch which provides good speed and bounce to fast bowlers. However, as the ball gets older, batting will become easier and batsmen can take advantage of the fast outfield. Apart from this, bowlers will also get extra bounce from the pitch which will also prove to be good for spinners.

The average score of the first innings in the Test matches played so far in Melbourne has been around 307 runs, while the team batting first has won 57 out of 117 matches. The team winning the toss on this pitch should bat first, because batting in the fourth innings can be difficult.
