STR vs STA Pitch Report
Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, will host its third game of this BBL season. After the Strikers successfully defended 184 runs against the Sixers, they successfully chased a 151-run target against Thunder.
During the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, we also experienced four successful defending and three successful chasings.
The 170+ totals are more defendable at this venue. However, the slower pitches can afford lesser totals to bring the successful defending result.
Toss prediction: Win the toss and bat first.
