England vs Ireland Pitch Report

The Melbourne Cricket Ground is a historic cricketing venue. The pitch in Melbourne usually offers some nice pace and bounce but the batters do get value for their shots. The long boundaries mean that the batters should be fit enough to do a lot of running. The wicket has some nice carry and the pacers will find help from the pitch.So, basically it is a sporting wicket for both the batters and bowlers. Melbourne has experienced a few spells of rain in recent times and the forecast for this game isn’t encouraging as well. Let’s hope for some mercy from the rain gods and we get a full game.

Last result at the venue

India(160/6 in 20 overs) beat Pakistan (159/8 in 20 overs) by 4 wickets.
