Melbourne Renegades Women vs Brisbane Heat Women outfield report 

Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

The chasing team has won nine of the fifteen women’s domestic T20 matches held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Given the circumstances, both captains may choose to bat second because it is slightly simpler to score runs in the second innings.

Forecasts for Melbourne indicate that there will be a few morning showers and sporadic rain and drizzle throughout the day. Teams may choose to chase if these conditions have an impact on the game, particularly if the DLS method is used.

Both hitters and bowlers may compete fairly at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The pitch’s good bounce and pace can be used by fast bowlers to make things difficult for the hitters early on.
