The Adelaide Oval pitch may offer some early movement for the seamers with the new ball, but the bounce is generally true, making it favorable for batting once the initial overs are negotiated. Spinners could also find some assistance later, ensuring a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers.
During the match, the temperature is expected to range between 34-36°C. While there is no forecast of rain, an extreme fire weather warning has been issued for tomorrow, which could impact conditions.
