D Grade matches are reduced to 70 overs due to the forecast heat. Other matches may be reduced to 80 or 70 overs by agreement at the toss. Drink breaks should be taken in the shade at least every 10-12 overs. Due to showers forecast for Sunday morning, all pitches and wicket tables for Sunday games must be covered after Saturday's play. Hessian must be used over pitches.
In the City of Melbourne, covers must go down at all MCA grounds except FP1, Cordner, Walker West and Ransford.
Teams with Sunday matches need to check this website at 7.30am Sunday for further information regarding matches and inspection of pitches.
