What are the weather conditions like in Adelaide at 5.30 PM IST on Saturday?
The weather forecast promises a partly cloudy day with temperatures reaching 27 degrees Celsius. There is a possibility of showers from late afternoon and also during night time. The match will be played under lights at Adelaide Oval; hence rain won’t be much of a factor. What are my expectations from Adelaide’s pitch?: The pitch at Adelaide Oval has traditionally favored batsmen more than bowlers. However, that was when it had grass on it. This year though, there has been no grass on it since mid-December due to extreme weather conditions in Australia. Hence, I expect a flat wicket which might help fast bowlers in patches but not enough to make it an unplayable surface. It should play very well for batsmen and should offer runs throughout innings – something that both teams would like considering they have batting line-ups full of explosive players who can score quickly if they get going early on in their innings.
Is there a forecast of rain at Adelaide Oval on Saturday?
It appears it will be a very overcast day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. A drizzle is predicted, and we could see intermittent showers throughout the play but there’s no rain expected until later in the afternoon and evening. The outlook for Sunday (the 1st day/night match) isn’t as good though; there’s a 50% chance of rain overnight and through to lunchtime on Sunday. We could see showers during that time with heavy rainfall at times and hail is also forecast. So Australia might want to take their batting boots along!
Predicted Playing XIs
Australia: Alex Carey (wk), Aaron Finch (c), Glenn Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, D’Arcy Short (D/O), Ashton Agar, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Jason Behrendorff.England: Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan (c), Sam Billings (wk), Jos Buttler(w), Sam Curran, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid/David Willey/Mark Wood/Jos Buttler*2.0.0-0-16-1. Match Preview: The hosts have already won their series against England by a margin of 3-0 and now they are looking to whitewash them in yet another series. The visitors have been outclassed in all departments of the game and they need to find some form if they are to avoid a clean sweep at home. They will be hoping that their bowlers can take wickets early on so that it becomes easy for them to chase down small targets in these conditions.
Cricket news – Kane Richardson ruled out; Jhye Richardson back in squad; Chris Lynn replaced by Ben McDermott
Jhye Richardson returns to Australia’s limited-overs squad after being rested for their ODI series against India. He comes in place of Kane Richardson who has been ruled out with a side strain. The all-rounder is one of four changes to Australia’s squad from Sunday’s ODI match in Ranchi. Chris Lynn replaces Ben McDermott at No 3 and Nathan Coulter-Nile comes in for Andrew Tye. Both Shaun Marsh (back) and Glenn Maxwell (side) have been cleared to play without any restrictions after missing Sunday’s game. They will be available from Sunday if required but won’t feature in Wednesday’s second Twenty20 international in Cuttack.
Updated ICC rankings after India series loss
India’s shock 3-1 loss to Australia has resulted in Virat Kohli and his men falling two spots in the latest ICC T20I rankings. The defending champions slipped to No 5 after their three successive defeats Down Under. Pakistan is now ranked No 1 following a dramatic 2-run win over Sri Lanka in Dubai on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how things pan out once India and Australia go head-to-head again for a full series starting January 12. For now though, here are some points from ICC’s full release that could explain what went wrong with MS Dhoni’s boys down under…
