⇨ 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 19 to 12 degrees Celsius during the match hours with little to no rainfall. It is going to be ‘mostly sunny’ — perfect conditions for a game of cricket. 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:
⇨Devon Conway (NZ) [captain]: After a good score in the first match-up against defending champs Australia, Conway has been dismissed cheaply. Given Adelaide’s perfect batting surface, and his average, and strike rate of 51 and 135 against medium bowlers and fast pacers a big score from Conway can be predicted.
⇨ Glenn Phillips (NZ): After 2 extremely good knocks against quality sides, Phillips has earned his name into our charts. He who has a very strong scoring area square of the wicket will be able to clear the small boundaries of Adelaide with ease. He has a strike rate of 186 in the last 5 overs where he will is predicted to bat tomorrow, assigned with the responsibility of finishing the NZ innings on a high.
⇨ Joshua Little (IRE): The pick of the bowlers from Ireland, Little has 56 wickets to his name at an economy of 7.76 in T20Is. He has adapted well to the Australian conditions getting the ball to move around early on and has scalped early wickets in the tournament so far. He has scalped 34 wickets this year alone which displays the form he is in.
Alternative Combinations:
⇨ Combination 1:
1. Tim Southee
2. Andrew Balbirnie
3. Finn Allen [captain]
⇨ Combination 2:

Marketplace Watch:

⇨ Lockie Ferguson (Gold Tier) — XP: 2% — Ask Price: $41
