Melbourne Stars Academy vs Hobart Hurricanes Academy Live Prediction: Get Pitch Report & Weather Updates

The pitch at Marrara Cricket Ground (MCG 2) for T20 matches is batting-friendly. The first-innings average score of 163 indicates a high-scoring surface. However, the second innings sees a decline in scoring, with an average of 148. Chasing becomes more difficult as the pitch slows down.

Current weather is overcast clouds. With 100% cloud cover, conditions are heavily overcast. Swing bowlers will enjoy excellent early movement, and batters may need to play cautiously early on. High humidity (76%) may help the ball grip and assist spinners later in the game, making it slightly tricky for batters to play big shots against spin. Strong winds at 11.30 m/s could make aerial shots risky and difficult to control for batters.
