Adelaide Oval Launch Report

The Adelaide Oval pitch is expected to offer a balanced playing field, benefiting both batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers might get some early movement with the new ball, but as the game progresses the surface is likely to become more conducive to batting. Short boundaries will also give batsmen more opportunities to score. Taking these factors into account, the captain who wins the toss may choose to bowl first.
