Adelaide Oval Pitch Report
Adelaide Oval is widely regarded as one of the most batting-friendly venues in the BBL, known for its consistent bounce and reliable pace that allows shooters to bowl with confidence. That said, it is not without its challenges. Under light, the new ball can move sharply, giving fast bowlers a real opportunity early on. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down slightly in the middle of the overs, bringing the spinners and change bowlers into the competition.
Squads:
Adelaide Forwards: Matthew Court (c), Chris Lynn, Mackenzie Harvey, Liam Scott, Harry Manenti, Jamie Overton, Jerrssis Wadia, Luke Wood, Harry Nielsen (week), Hasan Ali, Lloyd Pope, Jason Sangha, Henry Thornton
Brisbane Heat: Colin Munro, Jack Wildermuth, Matt Renshaw, Hugh Weibgen, Max Bryant, Tom Alsop, Jimmy Peirson (week), Xavier Bartlett (c), Shaheen Afridi, Matthew Kuhnemann, Thomas Balkin, Liam Haskett, Lachlan Hearne, Ollie Patterson
