Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Report for T20 World Cup 2022

MCG has hosted 15 T20I matches so far and the Aussie team was involved in all those. So, on Sunday, it will be the first time that Australia won’t be one of the two sides in an international T20 at MCG. Talking about Melbourne Cricket Ground’s pitch, it is a well-balanced venue for both batters and bowlers. Pacers get good bounce while the ball comes nicely on the bat. Usually, spinners don’t play a crucial role here.

In 15 T20I matches, the MCG has never witnessed a 200-run total. The highest total here which is 184 was recorded by India against the hosts in 2016. A team would like to bowl first here if they look at past records. Out of 15 T20Is, 9 times chasing side has won here. So, pace bowlers will be the key at Melbourne Cricket Ground’s pitch.
