THE TEAM NEWS
SYDNEY THUNDER
- Sydney Thunder made it back-to-back wins in the Big Bash League as they got the better of Adelaide Strikers in their last clash and that has seen them put themselves back into a solid position on the ladder.
- · The Thunder come into this game in fourth spot with another win here seeing them climb above Hobart Hurricanes in third and with Jason Sangha performing so well last time out having scored an unbeaten 91 off just 55 balls, the Sydney outfit will be full of confidence.
ADELAIDE STRIKERS
- Adelaide Strikers were outclassed in their last game with Sydney Thunder as they succumbed to a 22-run loss which was their fifth defeat in-a-row and with just one win in their seven BBL games to date, they have it all to do to end their wretched run of form.
- There were some solid efforts with the bat but nobody really kicked on to go and produce a match-winning knock and that will be the test for the Strikers in this contest while they also need more from their bowling unit having struggled for wickets during their losing streak.
THE PREDICTION
Sydney Thunder appear to be improving after producing two
eye-catching wins in their last two outings. They will now aim to make
it three-in-a-row as they take on a struggling Adelaide Strikers outfit
with the away side losing their last five games. The Strikers are in a
tough spot with just one win in seven and time is already running out
for them to climb the ladder to remain in the competition. They must
improve with both bat and ball but having lost last time out against the
Thunder, it appears a sixth consecutive defeat is on the cards for them
here.
