Mackay: (RightNow). The second Test match between Australia and Bangladesh concluded in just two days. The pitch is likely to receive a top rating.

According to reports, match referee Sir Richie Richardson recommended the Great Barrier Reef Arena pitch as ‘very good’. Final approval will be given by the ICC.

For a high pitch rating, appropriate bounce, limited seam movement, and consistent bounce are essential. These factors provide a balanced contest between batters and bowlers.

In the Mackay Test, 30 wickets fell in 125 overs, with Australia winning in two days. Josh Hazlewood stated the pitch was not typical for a two-day match.

It is noteworthy that Mitchell Starc took 10 wickets, dismantling Bangladesh’s batting. On the first day, the ball seamed a bit, but batting became easier later.
