The Ground: The straight boundaries stretch to 79-88 meters, among the longest in Australian cricket, while square boundaries measure just 57-67 meters. Hence Most runs are scored square of the wicket and 57% of the total team runs are scored in boundaries. The top 4 batsmen score 70% of the team total.
The Pitch: The drop-in pitch is widely regarded as Australia's flattest batting surface. The pitch typically offers early assistance for seamers before settling into a true batting surface. Under lights, dew becomes a factor sometimes.
Bowling: Both teams have decent pace attacks. Spinners are economical here and Adelaide have a very good spinner in Lloyd Pope. Swepson for the Stars should also be useful. Most wickets are taken by pace bowlers. The ground has a very high percentage of caughts - 65%.
Batting: Both teams have good batting depth and the Stars batting is in red hot form. Adelaide will again depend on their top 3 batsmen to give them a good total while the Stars bat deeper with Stoinis and Maxwell.
Teams: Although H2H, the stars have a slightly better record, their record on this ground is poor. Adelaide also have a good record on their home ground and prefer to defend.
Toss Advantage: As per the ground stats, toss is not important at this venue. Teams batting 1st have slight advantage.
Match Prediction: Considering all factors, Adelaide Strikers are favorites to win the match with a 58% win chance in a very close match due to their top order batting and home record. Anything over 190 should be defended and scores below 160 should be chased. A medium to high scoring match is expected with the 1st innings total in the range of 170-190.
