Date: Tuesday, December 31, 2024

Venue: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide

Pitch Report

The pitch at Adelaide Oval has one of the best batting surfaces in Australia, and we expect a high-scoring encounter. The short boundaries around the squares help batters play their shots freely. The batters need to be extra cautious in the early hours, as it’s a tricky period, and they go for their general gameplay. The pacers will surely make the ball swing along with their pace, but the spinners might need that extra kick to get a wicket on this pitch. 

We expect clear skies over Adelaide with high and low temperatures of 27 and 14 degrees Celsius.
