THE LOWDOWN

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

  • Almost two weeks since the 2023-24 Big Bash got underway, Adelaide Strikers are still yet to complete a fixture after their only scheduled match so far against Brisbane Heat was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.
  • Chris Lynn will no doubt prove an important piece for Adelaide at the top of the order, with the likes of D’Arcy Short and Matthew Short complementing him, alongside a heavy English contingent of overseas players.

SYDNEY THUNDER

  • Sydney Thunder were brushed aside fairly comfortably by Brisbane Heat last time out, meaning they are still without any points on the board so far, although victory here would see them leapfrog the Strikers.
  • Being bowled out for 131 chasing 152 against the Heat was down mainly to no player managing to successfully anchor the run-chase, with the likes of Cameron Bancroft, Oliver Davies and Chris Green all being dismissed after gaining starts.

THE PREDICTION

Adelaide Strikers have been waiting a long time to get out on the pitch and finally play. To do so at home should serve a big boost for them and a powerful top order on paper will be hoping to capitalise on the Adelaide ground dimensions. Sydney Thunder didn’t look settled against Brisbane and could struggle on the road, so back the Strikers to pick up an important two points.
