Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers Predictions


The Heat have played some powerful cricket but have just one win to show for it. The Strikers are struggling to score runs consistently, but their bowlers are performing well, so I think they will have the beating of the Heat.

  • Adelaide Strikers’ Matthew Short scored 56 off 42 balls against the Stars.
  • Adelaide Strikers’ Liam Scott has scored 31, 147, 51 & 25 in his last 4 innings.
  • Brisbane Heat’s Matt Renshaw has scored 112, 102 & 43 in his last 6 innings.
  • Brisbane Heat’s Jack Wildermuth scored 110* off 54 balls in the win over the Scorchers.

Head-to-Head


The Strikers won their last match against the Heat, but lost three of their previous four meetings, one of which was abandoned.

Brisbane Heat Form


After picking up their first win of the tournament in their incredible run-chase against the Scorchers, the Heat were brought back to earth with a bang when they were beaten by the Thunder by 34 runs.

The Heat struggled to break the Thunder’s opening stand on their way to posting 193/4 off their 20 overs. Jack Wildermuth (2/25, econ 6.25) was the best of the Heat bowlers.

On a low and slow pitch the Heat failed to repeat their batting heroics from against the Scorchers, with Matt Renshaw (43 off 28) and Hugh Weibgen (30 off 26) top-scoring as the Heat struggled through to 159/6 off their 20 overs. 

Adelaide Strikers Form


The Strikers’ win in their opener was followed by a six-wicket loss to the Stars with 11 balls to spare.

Opener Matthew Short (56 off 42) anchored the innings as the top-order collapsed around him. Liam Scott (25) and Alex Ross (22) were the only other batters to pass 11.

The Strikers’ bowlers did their best to contain the Stars batters, but they couldn’t prevent them from claiming a six-wicket win with 11 balls to spare. 

Hasan Ali (2/25, econ 8.33) was the pick of the bowlers but he was well-supported by Jamie Overton (1/39, econ 9.75) and Lloyd Pope (1/22, econ 5.50).
