STA vs SIX, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The surface at the famous MCG in Melbourne provides good assistance for the batters; however, it starts playing quite slow as the match progresses which might demand batters to be quite careful while taking charge against the bowlers. The captain winning the toss might opt to bat first to post a challenging total for the opponent.
