Marvel Stadium Field Report:

Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium presents a challenging contest between bat and ball. The pitch offers seam movement and early bounce that can trouble the batsmen, especially the pacers. However, once the batsmen adjust to the conditions, scoring runs becomes easier. Teams that win the toss usually choose to bowl first to take advantage of the early assistance that the toss provides to the fast bowlers.
