Adelaide Oval Pitch Report for BBL 2022-23
The Adelaide Oval pitch is known to be one of the finest wickets to bat on in Australia. The batters tend to play their shots at ease here and score big once they’re set. The pacers will have a crucial part to play in the initial overs as there will be some help in the wicket for the bowlers while it is fresh. As the match progresses, the bowlers will have to make sure they bowl tight lines and lengths, in order to restrict the batters. The shorter square boundaries will make it easier for the batters to score quick runs.
We might get to see some high-scoring games at the Adelaide Oval throughout the BBL season. The captains would be looking to field first after winning the toss here. Anything around 170 would be a good total at this venue.
