The 12th edition of the Big Bash League will start on December 13th. The Adelaide Oval will be the home of the Adelaide Strikers. Here, we look at the pitch report of Adelaide Oval and the weather conditions in Adelaide for BBL 2022/23.
The home team has a strong core and will look to leave an impact this season. While Chris Lynn, Colin de Grandhomme, Rashid Khan, Wes Agar and Alex Carey form the core of the squad, the team will also benefit when the likes of Travis Head play a few games.
Australia is in need of some fresh blood, especially in the bowling department. While Mitchell Starc looks off-colour in T20s, Pat Cummins is also not always consistent. Josh Hazlewood has his injury issues, as well. Therefore, unearthing some fine talented bowlers will be the agenda for Australia in this BBL season.

In 12 T20Is that have happened at this venue, so far, seven games were won by the first batting squad while the remaining matches went in the way of the chasing side. Hence, there is not much in it regarding this.
With an average first batting score of 168, the track is likely to help the batters. David Warner’s 100* against Sri Lanka is the best batting display on this track while Shane Watson’s 4/15 in 2011 is yet to be beaten in the bowling department.

It is going to be a mix of sunshine and overcast conditions in the month of December in Adelaide. Barring a few days of predicted rainfall, the other days are likely to be sunny.
While temperatures can hit as high as 34 degrees Celsius in January, it will maximum drop down by 20 units at night. A few days of rainfall are expected in the first month of 2023 but it is likely to be okay for the games to happen.
