THE LOWDOWN

BRISBANE HEAT

• Brisbane Heat topped the league table, but when it came to the crunch, fell short in the ‘qualifier’ game, losing by 39 runs at home to Sydney Sixers after being bowled out for just 113 chasing 153.
• Despite having won seven of their ten league fixtures, the Heat never beat Adelaide, their only scheduled encounter with the Strikers having been abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

• Not many give Adelaide Strikers a shot of taking out Perth Scorchers in the ‘knockout’ match with home advantage being in Perth’s favour, but the Strikers put in one of their best performances this campaign to knock off the champions.
• Despite being without one of their key batters in Chris Lynn, Adelaide put 155/7 on the board before their bowlers took Perth apart, bowling them out for 105 in 16.2 overs, winning by exactly 50 runs.

THE PREDICTION

After dumping out the reigning back-to-back BBL champions in their own house, Adelaide Strikers now look to do the same to a team who lost just one of their ten league matches across the tournament so far. It’s hard to escape the fact that Brisbane really struggled badly with the loss of a number of players to the ILT20 that they had in the league stage and don’t look the same team as they did earlier in the competition. Back the belief and confidence of Adelaide to see them through and cause another big shock, this time at the Gabba.

BETTING TIP: ADELAIDE STRIKERS TO WIN
