THE LOWDOWN
ADELAIDE STRIKERS
- Adelaide Strikers missed the play-offs and significantly under-performed in last season’s Big Bash, only winning five group games, so needless to say they’ll be expecting significantly better on this occasion.
- They’ll need to do so without Rashid Khan however, with their long-time overseas spin-star having pulled out of the tournament, which will leave a huge hole in their bowling attack and also within their leadership group.
BRISBANE HEAT
- Brisbane Heat got off to the perfect start on the opening night of the tournament with a statement-making 103-run battering of Melbourne Stars, which saw them rack up 214/3 before bowling out the Stars for just 111.
- There was agony for Colin Munro, who ended the Heat’s innings on 99 not out, but a brilliant collective bowling attack also warrants a mention with all six bowlers utilised picking up at least one wicket.
THE PREDICTION
Brisbane Heat looked a scary prospect indeed on opening night and whilst they can’t be expected to play like that every match, the foundations are certainly in place for them to make a strong start. It would be no surprise if their batters weren’t afforded a significant amount of joy vs this Adelaide bowling line-up and when taking into account the bowling unit’s all-round showing as well, Brisbane simply have to be favoured for the win here.
BETTING TIP: BRISBANE HEAT TO WIN
