AUS vs WI: Pitch Report

It is the first time since 2018 that the Adelaide Oval will host a day Test. The surface here is generally good for batting and is expected to behave similarly when Australia and Pakistan face each other from Wednesday. Fast bowlers will get more pace and bounce but at the same time, it will help the batters to get better connections. The captain who wins the toss may elect to bat first.
