India vs Pakistan 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.So, basically it is a sporting wicket for both the batters and bowlers.However, spinners do not really have a big role to play at this venue. According to the weather forecast, there is 80-100% chance of rainfall. All we could wish and pray for is that rain does not play a spoil sport on one of the biggest matches of the tournament.

Last result at the venue

Australia(154/6 in 20 overs) lost to Sri Lanka(155/5 in 19.5 overs) by 5 wickets.

IND Playing 11

India have named Md Shami as the replacement for Jasprit Bumrah. Thus, he becomes a direct entry to the team.
The debate around Karthik and Pant finally seems to be cooling down. The team management seems keen on giving Dinesh Karthik an opportunity over Pant based on his recent form.
A lot would depend on their top order which is one of their strengths, but they would need to improve their death bowling woes.
