Marvel Stadium Pitch Report:
The Marvel Stadium in Melbourne offers great competition between bat and bowl. There is a seam movement early on and a jump in the pitch of the runners that can confuse the batters, but when they change their batting style they are good for the hitters. Teams that have won the toss often prefer to bowl first on the field in order to take advantage of the initial support that the pitch provides to runners.
