India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup Match Pitch Report

The Melbourne Cricket Ground is one of the cricket stadiums which has a huge ground area, therefore, scoring runs is a little difficult. The average T20 score at this pitch is 137. The pitch is quite balanced between batting and bowling. Pacers get a good bounce early on but as the game progresses the bowl starts coming on to the bat more easily.

The spinners have proven to be quite helpful here as the batsmen tend to throw away wickets while trying to pick the spinners for big shots.

India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup Weather Report

This is undoubtedly one of the most hyped up matches of the T20 World Cup and the cricketing fans around the world look forward to the India vs Pakistan clash.

If we take a look at the weather report for the Sunday clash, there will be a little disappointment as the forecast shows around 65% chance of rain clashing with the time of the match. While the range of rainfall is lesser during the early hours of the game but tends to speed up as the day ends, therefore, there are high chances that game could end up with not even a single ball bowled.

It would be a blessing full of luck if we can get to see a game with lesser overs as well.
