Pitch Report: Australia vs Afghanistan

The pitch at Adelaide has proved to be a pretty even pitch so far. The bowlers get some nice bounce and carry, whereas the batters look to use the pace initially and once set, take charge of the opposition. The bowlers need to be smart with their line and length in order to get the batters trapped toward the longer boundaries.

The sun is expected to be out and pretty clear on match day and we should have a full 20-over game. The par score on this pitch is expected to be around 160-170 runs.
