Pakistan has won the Tri-Series against New Zealand and Bangladesh. India on the other hand has won a few T20I series victories at home and was the winner in the practice and warmup matches.

Pitch Conditions

It’s well known that the Melbourne pitch favours both the batter and bowler. it’s expected that the bowlers will get a strong bounce initially but the spinners won’t have many bites. India has played four times, winning two times and losing once. Pakistan played once and got defeated. Whichever team bowls first, will be benefitted.

The Indian team is strong enough to beat Pakistan. The team has a lot of youngsters who are talented and full of potential. If India uses the right strategies with the best combination, they’ll rule the match.
