Docklands Stadium, Melbourne Pitch Report

The Docklands Stadium has traditionally been a venue at which teams batting first have been more successful. The pitch tends to act double-paced as the match goes on. Variations from the pace bowlers might come in handy. Batters will be aiming at making the most out of the powerplay overs as well as the death.
