TEAMS PREVIEW
Adelaide Strikers Preview
Alex Ross is leading the side in the absence of Matthew Short. He will have to inspire confidence in the team after their 5-wicket loss against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game. It has been a poor season for the side, and they have struggled with consistency. It is a must-win game for the side, and Ross wants to get the best out of his players.Β
Chris Lynn is the key player in the top order, and he must deliver a positive start with DβArcy Short, as Brisbane Heat have their bowlers in good form. Jake Weatherald, Ollie Pope, and Alex Ross are good players in the middle order and must do well. The side expects runs in the lower middle order from Jamie Overton and James Bazley.Β
Brisbane Heat Preview
Colin Munroβs team defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game by 5 wickets. This win has propelled them to the fourth position on the points table, and the team will look to improve its position further with a victory in this game. They have enjoyed a good record against the Adelaide Strikers and defeated them earlier in the season. Munro and his men would draw inspiration from that win.Β
Colin Munro will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Jack Wood, as Adelaideβs bowlers have struggled this season. Matt Renshaw is in good form, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Nathan McSweeney and Max Bryant. The lower middle order has good hitters, and the team expects fireworks from Tom Alsop and Michael Neser.Β
Weather Conditions
The skies over Adelaide will be clear during the game. It is a good batting surface, with high-scoring games in the last two years being the norm. Bowlers struggle on this surface with little for them on it. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 180 would be good for the team batting first.
ADS vs BH Pitch Report
Adelaide Oval is a good track where the batsmen have always enjoyed batting. The short boundaries around the square offer plenty of scoring opportunities to the batsmen. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue in the past as the track is hard and offers a lot of bounce, but spinners have struggled here, considering the dimensions of the ground.
Toss: To Bowl
The team chasing the score has won this venueβs last five out of seven games. It is a good wicket to bat on where defending has always been challenging for the side bowling second. The side that wins the toss would look to bowl first and trouble the opponents with early assistance.
