Match Report - 350 words - Adelaide vs Melbourne

*As part of my journalism course we’re often tasked with doing a match report within 20 minutes of the game finishing. We’re always told to cover football for this type of report.

Writing a match report will be easier and more consistent on the Big Bash League over the next month.
