Cricket News Desk. Team India is struggling in the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) to pave the way for the World Test Championship Final (WTC Final). The series is tied at 1-1, making the fourth match in Melbourne on December 26 even more exciting.

Bowlers will get help

The pitch curator of Melbourne Cricket Ground made it clear that both batsmen and bowlers will get help on this pitch. He has indicated that 6 mm grass will be used on the pitch. This match starting from 26th December will be do or die for Team India.

What's the update on the pitch?

“Look, I think we're very happy with what we've done over the last few years,” Matt Page said in his pre-match press conference. We see no reason to change this. I think we have seen three great Test matches so far on three great pitches. So the idea for us is to do something similar this time like the last few years and create an exciting match.

There will be grass on the pitch.

“Seven years ago, we were very flat,” he said. “We sat down as an organization and said we want to create more exciting competitions and more exciting Test matches. So now we leave more grass on them. This gives the bowlers a little more input, but they are still good to bat after the arrival of the new ball. That is why we have been working on six mills for the last few years. We'll keep an eye on it, but we've been very happy the last few years, so for us it's like playing at this level again.

Bumrah will wreak havoc

Jasprit Bumrah is in great form in this series. He has taken a total of 21 wickets in three matches so far. In Gabba, Bumrah took 6 wickets in one innings and 3 wickets in the second innings. Now it will be interesting to see how Bumrah performs in Melbourne.
