Adelaide Oval Pitch Report
The Adelaide Oval pitch is expected to provide a good balance between bat and ball. Fast bowlers can get early swings with a new ball, but the pitch can be hit-and-miss as the game progresses. Short boundaries will also help the batsmen. Depending on his playing style, the successful bowler may choose to bowl first.
