Marvel Stadium Field Report:

Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium offers an intense contest between bat and bowl. There is an initial movement of the seam and a bounce in the pitch for the batsmen which can bother the batsmen, but once they adjust to the conditions, scoring runs becomes convenient for the batsmen. Teams that win the toss generally prefer to bowl first on this pitch to try and take advantage of the initial help the pitch provides to the players.
