Sydney ThunderAdelaide StrikersSydney Thunder have not been at their best in the 13th season of BBL. They have very bleak chances of reaching the play offs and for that, the Thunder will have to win all of their upcoming fixtures while keeping their net run rate on a higher side.
The opening pair of Cameron Bancroft and Alex Hales has done well for the team. Bancroft is the highest scorer from the team with 214 runs in 7 fixtures at an average of 30.57. Hales is following Bancroft with 187 runs in 7 fixtures at an average of 26.71.
Daniel Sams has been fabulous with the ball as he is the highest wicket-taker in the teams and second-highest in the league. Sams has picked up 11 wickets in 7 fixtures at an average of 17.18 while maintaining his economy at 9.45. Zaman Khan is the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the team with 8 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 16.38 and an economy of 8.54.
David Warner is not yet confirmed to be part of the team but his presence will be a huge push to the batting unit.
Predicted Lineup: Alex Hales, Cameron Bancroft, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Oliver Davies, Alex Ross, Daniel Sams, Nathan McAndrew, Chris Green (c), Gurinder Sandhu, Tanveer Sangha.
The players of Adelaide Strikers are leading the charts but still, the team is struggling to perform consecutively. In the batting unit, Matt Short is the highest scorer in the tournament with 351 runs in 6 matches at an average of 70.20.
Chris Lynn is the 2nd highest scorer in the team and 3rd highest in the tournament with 267 runs in 6 matches at an average of 66.75. DβArcy Short is another batter who is slowly picking up the pace as he has scored 178 runs in 6 matches at an average of 29.67.
The primary struggles of the Strikers are in the bowling unit. The bowlers have failed to scalp wickets and break partnerships timely. David Payne is their highest wicket-taker with 8 wickets in 5 fixtures at an average of 22.63 while maintaining his economy at 9.70. Jamie Overton also has 8 wickets at an average of 24 and an economy of 8.35 in 6 fixtures.
Cameron Boyce and Lloyd Pope are the weak link in the team and the duo needs to perform to score a win.
Predicted Lineup: Matthew Short, Chris Lynn, Adam Hose, Jamie Overton, D'Arcy Short, Cameron Boyce, Thomas Kelly, Alex Carey, Henry Thornton, David Payne, Lloyd Pope
Sydney Thunder are in a very vulnerable situation as they need to win the upcoming fixture. However, they have shown major struggles in the middle order and with spin bowling.
The Strikers, on the other hand, have a good depth in their batting unit, who is turning out to be the match-winner for the team. We predict a win for the Adelaide Strikers on Sunday.
