Adelaide Strikers lost their last match, and they would want to make a comeback in this match. The side is bolstered by the arrival of Travis Head and Alex Carey in this match. Chris Lynn and Matthew Short are in terrific form at the moment, whereas the bowling has also been decent.
Brisbane Heat are at the bottom of the table with just two wins in 9 games so far. This is almost a knockout match for them, and they have to win there. There will be added responsibility on the shoulders of senior players like Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne.
STR vs HEA pitch report
The Adelaide Oval in Adelaide is all set to host its 6th game of the ongoing BBL season, and it is safe to say that the batters have loved their time out there in the middle so far. This match will again be a great opportunity for the batters to score some good runs with the bat.
A total of 5 BBL 12 matches have been played here where the average 1st innings score here has been 190 runs, which proves that batting has been very easy here. Adelaide Strikers chased the target of 230 runs at this very venue. There are absolutely no demons in the wicket, and the batters can trust the bounce on the wicket.
The square boundaries of this stadium are very small, whereas the outfield is also lightning-quick, which makes the job easier for the batters. A high-scoring encounter is expected in this match as well, and both captains can opt to bowl upon winning the toss.
