The pitch While the past three teams to bat first in Adelaide have posted over 500 it is not expected to be a batting paradise this time around. The wicket block consists of only three pitches. The ones alongside the Test pitch have good-length grass atop them, while the pitch itself is unusually green.
None of this is a coincidence. All of the administrators involved in hosting the match want to make conditions as favourable as possible for the pink ball. Such a pitch would generally tempt a captain to field first, however the trait in trial matches of batting being toughest under lights could influence the decision on the toss.
The betting Australia $1.60, New Zealand $3.75, draw $5.75. Source: TAB Sportsbet.
