Adelaide Oval Pitch Report
The wicket at the Adelaide Oval is a decently balanced track for both, the bowlers and the batters. The fast bowlers find some initial movement off the surface and the spinners come into play during the middle phase of the match. The batsmen after seeing off initial overs can play their shots at ease. The average first innings score here is 181 which is fairly high.
Owing to the big boundaries in the stadium, the pacers can use their variations to trouble the batsmen.
