Docklands Stadium, Pitch Report

The Docklands Stadium in Melbourne is known for its balanced track, which is slightly inclined towards the bowlers [mostly pacers] in the first half of the game. The average first-innings score here has been 157 runs while the overall average score is 158. The batters could find it easy to get ‘going’ in the second in the second innings of the game. So, the toss-winning skipper will look ahead to bowl first and restrict the opponent to a low total.
