THE LOWDOWN

SYDNEY THUNDER

  • Sydney Thunder have long been knocked out of play-off contention, having picked up just three points this season, leaving them marooned at the bottom of the table going into their final game.
  • The last time Sydney Thunder picked up two points in a single fixture was back before Christmas against Melbourne Stars, but they have lost four games since then with one no result.

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

  • Despite winning each of their last three games, fourth-placed Adelaide Strikers are unable to finish inside the top three with them currently trailing third-placed Sydney Sixers by three points with one match to play.
  • A run of four consecutive defeats around midway through their league stage campaign proved costly for them, but a win here would ensure they make the play-offs and compete in the ‘Knockout’ fixture.

THE PREDICTION

Whilst the Thunder could be a threat to Adelaide Strikers when considering that they have nothing to lose and no pressure on their shoulders, it’s still very unlikely that they can upset the odds. The likelihood is that many of their players are focused on their next assignment post-BBL, whether that be domestic or franchise cricket. Adelaide though, are laser-focused on what they have to do and they are expected to complete their assignment, bagging a play-off spot.
