Pitch Report
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval is a decent one to bat on with the bowlers likely to get some help as the match progresses. The pacers should get the ball to swing around, but conditions are best for batting in the powerplay overs. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams, with the pitch likely to slow down with time. Both teams will eye a score of 160, with batting first being the preferred choice.
