Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Pitch Report
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval offers an evenly balanced deck for a mouthwatering contest between the bat and the ball. Moreover, the amount of bounce and carry on the surface over the years has always seen fast bowlers dominate throughout the length of the match. However, the ball comes onto the bat pretty nicely, and the faster outfield gives batters the full value if they manage to hit in the gaps.
