The Marvel Stadium Pitch Report:
The Marvel Stadium in Melbourne offers an intense contest between the bat and the bowl. There is some initial seam movement and bounce in the pitch for pacers which can trouble the batters, but once they adjust to the conditions scoring runs becomes convenient for the batters. Teams winning the toss generally prefer to bowl first on this ground in a bid to take advantage of the initial help the pitch provides to the pacers.
