AS vs BH Pitch Report

The Adelaide Oval is a batting friendly surface, offering consistent bounce and pace that allows stroke-makers to play confidently throught the line.

Fast bowlers may extract some movement with the new ball, but the assistance fades as the game progress, making it easier for batters to settle and accelerate.

Spinners can make impact in the middle overs if they vary pace and the pitch generally favours run accumulation.
