STA vs SCO, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions

The 7^th match of the tournament between Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers will be the first match at the MCG in the ongoing BBL 2023. The ground is mostly known for the largest boundaries among all the grounds. So, the job would be quite hard for batters to get going with the boundaries. The surface at the MCG provides good assistance for pacers, the first innings score of around 150-160 could be a tough task for the batters to chase down in the second innings. So, the captain winning the toss will surely think of bowling first.
