This pitch has served – matches of Men’s Big Bash League and in 71 matches 41 times the first batting team won the match and 30 times second batting won the match. So toss is an important role for this match and the toss winner team will choose batting first.
Adelaide Oval’s pitch is balanced for both departments. The last Big Bash season witnessed the batting first side crossing 200 runs in 2 out of last 2 matches played here. Even a score of 205 was chased by Melbourne Stars here. However, the ground has huge straight boundaries ranging 80 metres long. The square boundaries’ size reads 62-63 metres. This suggests that hitting sixes on this ground requires power, making it risky to go for the aerial route.In last match, which was played on Adelaide Oval, the Adelaide team scored 205 runs against Melbourne Star but failed to defend 205 runs and Star chased it in 19 overs.
In the initial overs, the bowling side needs to maintain a tight line and length, aiming to secure early breakthroughs to restrict the opponent to a low score. The role of spinners becomes crucial in the middle overs. Due to the big boundaries, spinners and pacers who use variations can be effective here. Talking about the Par score, the team batting first should aim to score at least 190 to be considered a competitive total. In 71 matches played on this ground 41 matches batting 1st won and 30 matches won by 2nd batting.
