What Should the Captains Do at Adelaide Oval?
The toss is close. Batting first has won 49 of 95 ODIs here, but the average score drops from 225 in the first innings to 198 in the second. With light rain forecast, a revised target is possible, which can favour the chasing side. Use the new ball well in the powerplay, because the cloud cover and wind can help it move and early wickets put the batting side under pressure. Use spin in the middle overs to slow the scoring. The highest chase here is 303, so a side batting first should aim for 260 or more rather than settle for a par total.
