Adelaide Strikers have played two games, emerging victorious in both matches. Both their wins have been very convincing. In the first game, they defeated Sydney Sixers by 51 runs and then backed it up with a 124-run win over Sydney Thunder. Strikers bowled out Thunder for just 15 runs in the match.
Meanwhile, Thunder have played three games, winning one and losing two. They lost to Melbourne Renegades in the last game by 4 wickets. A win in the coming game is crucial for Thunder to keep in the race for playoffs as a loss will push them further back in the queue.
The wicket at Adelaide Oval will be a good one to bat. The new ball might do a bit for the first couple of overs but it will get flat as the game progress. It will be comparatively tougher to hit the spinners than the pacers.
There is 40 per cent chance of rain on the match day. The temperature will range between 20 and 19 degrees.

Chris Lynn returned to some sort of form in the last game against Thunder as he played a 36-run knock. He is a big player in this format of the game and will be looking to make some healthy contributions in the coming games.
Nic Maddinson played a whirlwind knock of 39 in the last game against the Renegades. Being an opener, the onus is on him to give the team a good start and he will be looking to do the same in the coming game.
Colin de Grandhomme also scored 33 against Thunder. The big Kiwi is a match-winner on his day, both with the bat and ball. He didn't get a chance to bowl in the last game as Thunder were bowled out for a mere 15 but when given a chance, he can be more than handy
Daniel Sams is a utility cricketer that adds a lot of value to the team. He is a very good bowler and a more than handy batter. In the last game against the Renegades, he picked up three wickets.
Henry Thornton will be over the moon after the performance in the last game, which saw him take 5 wickets for 3 runs, helping Strikers bowl out Thunder for just 15 runs.
