History

The Big Bash League arrived in 2011 and quickly became a fixture of the Australian summer, and few grounds show it off as beautifully as Adelaide Oval. Home to the Adelaide Strikers, who lifted the title in the 2017-18 season, the Oval is widely regarded as one of the loveliest arenas in world cricket: the heritage scoreboard dating from 1911, the spire of St Peter's Cathedral rising behind the stands and the famous grassed hill all combine with floodlights and fireworks to make a match night genuinely special.

The ground sits just across the River Torrens from the centre, a short stroll over the footbridge. Adelaide is an elegant, easy-going city ringed by parklands and within reach of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, two of the country's finest wine regions, so a cricket trip pairs naturally with good food and wine. Stay in the CBD or North Adelaide and book early for match days.
