Australia could not stand in front of Eden Garden, ICC opened the eyes of the world with its pitch rating.

ICC Pitch Rating: The pitches of India are often said to be bad for Test cricket, while the pitches of England and Australia are said to be quite good. However, this time exactly the opposite happened. The ICC gave a poor rating to the pitch of the fourth match of the Ashes 2025-26 being played in Australia, whereas a few days ago the second Test between India and South Africa was played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The ICC has given a good rating to the pitch used for the India-Africa match. At the same time, the ICC had given the pitch a very poor rating for the Boxing Day Test played between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. So let us know both what rating the pitch got and on what basis ICC gave the rating.

Eden Garden got good rating (Pitch Rating)

Let us tell you that ICC gave a satisfactory rating to the pitch of Eden Garden for the second test of India vs South Africa. However, it is worth noting that the match played at Idhan Garden was over in three days. But both the departments got good support in the competition. The batsmen also did a good job, on the other hand the bowlers also got help.

MCG got bad rating (Pitch Rating)

On the other hand, Australia’s Melbourne Cricket Ground was given an unsatisfactory rating by the ICC. The Boxing Day Test played in Melbourne was over in just 2 days. The dominance of the bowlers was seen in the match. 20 wickets had fallen on the very first day of the match, keeping this in mind the ICC gave a poor rating to the MCG.
