BBL 2020/21: Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder Match Preview
It is the 53 rd match of this 10 th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) and it is the final league stage encounter for both Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder. This is the reverse fixture and it comes only a day after they squared off against each other for the first time this season.
Both teams are currently tied at 27 points and a win for either side will ensure them a place in the Finals week. A loss will leave them hanging on other results. The team that loses this game will be knocked out if both Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars win their respective games. If either one of the latter two teams lose their final league game, then the losing team might be through.
Adelaide Strikers have blown hot and cold severely throughout this tournament. Only on two occasions they have managed to win two games in a row this season. With seven wins and six losses alongside six Bash Boost points, they have managed to stay afloat in this competition. On the other hand, Sydney Thunder were flying high at one point and had six wins from eight games. However, they have lost four out of their last five games to put their Finals week spot in jeopardy. Their net run rate of +0.804 gives them a slight edge over the others even if they lose this game.
The head to head record was even stevens at 6-6 before this season started but with Adelaide Strikers winning the last game, they have nudged ahead with a slight advantage of 7-6.
Team news: Adelaide Strikers
Adelaide Strikers were boosted by the return of Travis Head and Michael Neser a couple of games ago and they have come in and contributed to both the wins big time. There are no injury concerns and the Strikers might go unchanged in this final league game.
Team news: Sydney Thunder
A bone and ligament injury ruled Daniel Sams out of the last three league games of this BBL 10. He will continue to be absent from the squad while the rest of the line-up is likely to be unchanged for this mega contest.
Predicted XI
Adelaide Strikers : Alex Carey (wk), Jake Weatherald, Travis Head (c), Philip Salt, Matt Renshaw, Ryan Gibson, Michael Neser, Danny Briggs, Wes Agar, Liam O Connor, Peter Siddle
Sydney Thunder : Usman Khawaja, Alex Hales, Callum Ferguson (c), Oliver Davies, Sam Billings (wk), Ben Cutting, Nathan McAndrew, Chris Green, Adam Milne, Brendan Doggett, Tanveer Sangha
Key players
Alex Hales : Alex Hales has been in smashing form for the Sydney Thunder this season. The England opening batsman is leading the BBL 10 run charts as he has amassed 472 runs at an average of 36.30. In addition to this, he has a superb strike-rate of 163.88 as well. Hales may have scored just one hundred and two fifties this season but the Sydney Thunder opener has gone past 20 in nine out of the 13 innings that he has played. He has given his side blistering starts more often than not and hence, Hales will be massive in this last league game for the Sydney Thunder.
Travis Head : Travis Head has played just two games so far in this season and hasn’t had the best of times in the recent past. However, he looked good in both innings that he played. The left-hander got scores of 25 and 31 and on both occasions looked set for a big one. The Adelaide Strikers might need their skipper to produce something special on the big stage as a spot in the top five is up for grabs.
