THE LOWDOWN

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

  • A thrashing at the ends of lowly Melbourne Stars was a really poor outcome for Adelaide Strikers, especially after beating Melbourne Renegades just two days earlier.
  • The Strikers were rolled out for just 108 in 19.2 overs batting first, a score which was clearly nowhere near par, with the Strikers ultimately losing by nine wickets.

BRISBANE HEAT

  • Consecutive defeats against reigning champions Perth Scorchers see Brisbane Heat now marooned well outside of the play-offs with a lot of ground to make up if they are to stand any chance of breaking into those top five spots.
  • Usman Khawaja’s first game back in the side as captain saw him score 28 opening the batting and he’ll be hoping for a more significant score this time round, as will Marnus Labuschagne who made 10 batting at number three.

THE PREDICTION

Brisbane Heat will sense a real opportunity here to go to Adelaide and claim a precious victory that would keep them in the play-off hunt. The Strikers may have home advantage, but their batting looked really poor at the MCG and Rashid Khan’s recent departure with ball also eliminates the threat of any world class mystery spin from the Adelaide line-up. Brisbane Heat desperately need to cash in here and whilst they come into this match as heavy underdogs, consider backing them to pull off an upset on the road.
