Marvel Stadium Launch Report:
Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium offers intense competition between bat and bowl. There is some initial seam and bounce movement in the delivery for pacers which may bother the batsmen but once they adapt to the conditions, scoring runs becomes convenient for the batsmen. Teams that win the toss generally prefer to bowl first on this pitch in an attempt to take advantage of the initial help that bowling provides to the pacers.
