THE LOWDOWN

SYDNEY THUNDER

• Sydney Thunder came out on top in a low-scoring thriller against Melbourne Stars to kick off the BBL, chasing down 123 with one wicket and no balls left to spare.
• Fazalhaq Farooqi’s bowling certainly caught the attention of everyone watching and the left-arm pacer, who took two wickets vs the Stars is certainly one to watch going forward this season.

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

• Adelaide Strikers sent a message out to the rest of their league by thrashing Sydney Sixers by 51 runs, scoring 184/6 batting first before strangling the Sixers into submission with the ball, Henry Thornton and Rashid Khan leading the way with four and three wickets respectively.
• Chris Lynn enjoyed a profitable debut for the Strikers, scoring 41 from 34 deliveries batting at number three, whilst opener Matthew Short led the way with a rapid 84 from 53 balls.

THE PREDICTION

Although Sydney Thunder may have beaten the Stars, they didn’t entirely convince and questions are yet to be answered as to whether they really have what it takes to reach the playoffs in this season’s tournament. Adelaide Strikers however, looked far more convincing against a very strong opponent in the Sixers and all their bases look more than adequately covered. Whilst this represents another stern challenge, especially with it being away from home, the Strikers are more than capable of passing said challenge, so back them to win once again.
