Pitch Report

The pitch at Melbourne's Junction Oval generally looks batsman-friendly, especially as the match progresses. Still, it could also be helpful for the bowlers, especially the quicks, in the early stages. It offers good bounce, making it a batsman-friendly pitch and likely to be more successful in chases. However, the surface can be a bit slow, requiring batsmen to be fully focused.
