Where: Adelaide Oval
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
The second-place Thunder and the third-place Strikers get together at the Adelaide Oval as both teams search for their third win of the season.
It’s been a fairly cruisy start to the season so far for the Strikers with wins over the Scorchers, Stars and Renegades, but they’ll certainly meet their match on Tuesday against a red-hot Thunder side led by Callum Ferguson.
Ferguson currently leads the Big Bash in runs scored, but at the same time, the Strikers’ Jake Weatherald, Alex Carery and Jonathan Wells all rank second, third and fourth in order.
Adelaide has also won four of their last five matches against Sydney to go along with a steady 5-1-2 record as the favourite against the Thunder. With home-field advantage and runs coming rather easily, it’s worth taking the Strikers to carry on with their winning ways.
