However, they are up against a decent Adelaide Strikers side who have a fearsome bowling attack to fall back on.

STR vs SIX pitch report for BBL 2022-23, Match 2

The Adelaide Oval is a competitive track with the average first innings total last season being 160. The pacers picked up nearly 65 percent of the wickets last year, but there should be some help available for the spinners as well. The longer dimensions of the ground should also play into the hands of the bowlers. The pitch should not change much during the game, with chasing likely to be the preferred choice upon winning the toss.
