Venue Guide (Adelaide Oval, Adelaide)
⇨Average Score: 188 (in 6 T20I matches since 2014)
⇨Win % Batting 1st: 75%
⇨Win % Batting 2nd: 25%
⇨ Ground Dimensions:
- Straight: 80*79
- Square: 63*62
- Square Diagonals: 71*72*76*72
⇨ The Adelaide oval has long straight boundaries which indicate full-length bowling. Anything back of length or short gets dismissed for boundaries as even mishits here can cross the ropes. Yorkers, full-length variations, and wrist spinners will be preferred here.
⇨ Playing Conditions: Weather predictions provide a good signal suggesting little to no rainfall. The temperatures will drop to 13 degrees Celsius during match hours. The Adelaide Oval is one of the best batting tracks in the world. After an epic Ind vs Ban encounter, it is clear that the track is a batting heaven. Teams winning the toss will want to bat first.
Dependable Trio for D3:
⇨Aaron Finch (AUS) [captain]: Aussie Captain Finch will be looking to score back-to-back 50s after a Player of The Match performance in Australia’s last match against Ireland. He has an average and a strike rate of 37 and 137 in the powerplay and can provide Australia to a good start. He has a tremendous record at the Adelaide Oval with a strike rate of more than 150.
⇨ Rashid Khan (AFG): A prolific bowler in T20 cricket, Rashid Khan can prove to be effective in Adelaide. The long straight boundaries can be exploited effectively by wrist spinners and thus will favor him. He has a career economy of just 6.24 in 73 matches which is phenomenal. If Afghanistan who is out of the race of playoffs, want to end their WC campaign on a high then this man will have to fire.
⇨ Marcus Stoinis (AUS): Australia’s number 1 all-rounder at the moment, Stoinis is in extremely good form. His style of bowling is well suited to Adelaide with an 80m straight boundary. He is destructive between overs 14–20 batting at a strike rate of 165 with an average of 47.
Alternative Combinations:
⇨ Combination 1:
1. David Warner
2. Rahmanullah Gurbaz
3. Glenn Maxwell [captain]
⇨ Combination 2:
1. Josh Hazlewood
2. Mohammad Nabi
3. Matthew Wade [captain]
Marketplace Watch:
⇨ Pat Cummins (Black Tier) — XP: 2% — Ask Price: $199
Opening with the new ball, Cummins is always a threat to the opposition. This purchase has the potential to provide high returns over time.
⇨ Aaron Finch (Silver Tier) — XP: 2% — Ask Price: $7
Australian opener Aaron Finch is in good form and can be purchased at this price.
⇨ Matthew Wade (Gold Tier) — XP: 7% — Ask Price: $37
Keeping for the Aussies, getting Wade at this price and XP is a steal!
