Adelaide Oval Pitch Report
Adelaide Oval is regarded as a haven for batsmen in the BBL thanks to its even bounce and reliable pace that rewards a free-flowing batting game. That is, the place is not without trials. Under lights, the new ball can travel in the air and off the seam, giving fast bowlers a chance to strike early. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down a bit in the middle parts, bringing spinners and bowlers with clever variations into the contest.
