The wicket at MCG, is known for offering something for the pacers. There will be some bounce and good carry. Apart from it expect batters to make merry if they counter the bounce well.

STA Playing 11

The Stars are likely to go unchanged.
Joe Clarke is in prime form. So expect him to bat at top of the order with T Rogers.
Trent Boult and Luke Wood are likely to share the new ball with N Coulter-Nile being deployed as the middle-overs specialist bowler.

SCO Playing 11

The Scorchers are likely to go unchanged.
Faf du Plessis and A Lyth should open the innings with A Turner beefing the middle-order.
J Behrendorff and J Richardson are a scary new ball bowling pair. A Agar would be used in Powerplays too.
