Match Winning Percentage
Team Performance
Adelaide Strikers: Adelaide Strikers kicked off their season with a solid three-wicket win over the Sydney Sixers, and there’s plenty to feel good about from both the batting and bowling units. The bowlers got things going early, with Luke Wood (3/26) and Jamie Overton (2/22) keeping the pressure on throughout to keep the Sixers to a manageable total. Chasing it down wasn’t straightforward though—the top order fell away, but Liam Scott held his nerve with a crucial 51, keeping the innings together when it mattered most. Overton’s aggressive 30 off 20 balls really swung things in the Strikers’ favour late on, before Wood saw them home alongside Hasan Ali. All in all, it was a gutsy, well-rounded performance that showed the Strikers can dig deep when the pressure’s on—definitely a positive heading into their next game against the Melbourne Stars.
Melbourne Stars: Melbourne Stars thrashed hurricanes by eight wickets in their opening match. Peter Siddle grabbed three wickets, with Haris Rauf and Marcus Stoinis helping out to bowl the Hurricanes out cheaply. Stoinis then went out and smashed 62 not out, while Campbell Kellaway hung around for 41* as they chased it down in 16 overs. Pretty one-sided game. They’ll back themselves against the Strikers now.

Pitch Report: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide
The Adelaide Oval pitch on December 23, 2025, is usually a belter for batting with good bounce and pace. Teams batting first here generally put up around 180 in recent T20 games, though the overall average is somewhere between 158–165. The quicks might get a bit of movement early, particularly under lights, but those short square boundaries (about 63m) mean batsmen can clear the fence without much trouble. Later in the innings, the pitch dries up and spinners start getting some bite. Captains winning the toss mostly bat first because it’s worked better historically—teams setting totals have won more matches here than those chasing.
