STA vs THU BBL 2021-22 Pitch Report:
The pitch of the Melbourne Cricket Ground hasn’t been a high-scoring one in the past and hence, batters have to keep their feet on the pitch if they want to score big. With the dimensions of the ground being on the larger side, the spinner would come in handy in the middle overs. Bowling first can be a good option, as the pacers get more help in the first innings.
