STR vs STA – Likely Pitch Report

The Adelaide Oval is a great track for batting with short square boundaries on each side. Over the last few years, the ground has developed a reputation for aiding the team batting second. This stat alone should be reason enough for the skipper to win the toss to bowl first. Interestingly a few years ago Adelaide Strikers played a game on New Year’s Eve and won the game with Travis Head hitting the ball for a six.
