The pitch at Melbourne's Junction Oval generally looks batting-friendly, especially as the match progresses, but it can also be helpful for bowlers, especially fast bowlers, in the early stages. It offers good bounce, making it a batsman-friendly pitch, with more success while chasing. However, due to the recent rains, the surface may be a bit slow, requiring batsmen to be cautious while playing.
