Pitch Report- STA vs REN Fantasy 11 Prediction

The pitch at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne generally offered a balanced surface. However, in the first power play, the batters will get good playing conditions. However, as the game progresses, the pitch becomes a bit slow and challenging for batters to play shots. The Pacers will get good bounce and movement in this venue.
