Venue Guide (Adelaide Oval, Adelaide)

Average Score: 188 (in 4 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: Forecasts have predicted temperatures ranging between 22 to 17 degrees Celsius during the match hours with a 5% chance of rain. There is some chance of rain early on in the day, which can result in movement for the quicks early on. Still, the Adelaide Oval is one of the best batting tracks in the world. Such a high average score indicates that teams like to bat first after winning the toss which results in the chasing teams crumbling under pressure.

Dependable Trio for D3:

⇨Hardik Pandya (IND): The English middle order is struggling and undergoing changes — Salt is likely to replace Malan who is injured, Curran, Livingstone, Ali, and Brook haven’t fancied many runs. Hardik who bowls in the middle overs can prove to be handy in such a situation. His pin-point, and hit-the-deck bowling style has worked well in Australia and he can fetch important wickets for your team. To add him to your team you can choose OG Irfan Pathan (Batter 5).

⇨ Suryakumar Yadav (IND) [captain]: 225 runs, 5 matches, an average of 75 — these are SKY’s stats in the World Cup till now. He should be a sure-shot entry into your team and here’s why — 1. He is in sublime form, 2. He likes pace on the ball and has an average of 52 and a strike rate of 202 against fast bowlers, thus the English lineup will suit him, 3. He has scored a century against this English lineup in England and will be well-prepared for their attack, and 4. He has scored more than 1000 runs this year in T20Is, the first Indian to do so, at a strike rate of 180+. To add Suryakumar Yadav to your trio in D3 you can choose OG Yusuf Pathan (Batter 4).

⇨ Jos Buttler (ENG): Jos Buttler has immense experience against Indian bowlers, playing them in the IPL, and in the recently concluded Ind vs Eng bilateral series. He plays pace well, and with his partner, Hales scoring runs at the other end as well, Buttler can play more freely. He has an average of 44 and a strike rate close to 150 in the powerplay and can provide England with a good start. To add him to your team choose OG Kevin Pietersen (Batter 1).

Alternative Combinations:

⇨ Combination 1:
1. Arshdeep Singh [captain]
2. Ben Stokes — (Matthew Hoggard — Bowler 1 or Owais Shah — Batter 3)
3. KL Rahul

⇨ Combination 2:
1. Hardik Pandya — (Anil Kumble — Bowler 4 or Irfan Pathan — Batter 5) / Adil Rashid
2. Alex Hales [captain](Jonathan Trott — Batter 2)
3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
