The game gets underway in Adelaide at 15:30 local time.
Adelaide Strikers lost a very close game in the reverse fixture earlier in the season and will be determined to get a win in this match. With their returning Test players, they will be a very tough team to beat.
The return of their Test players was not enough to get Brisbane Heat back to winning ways in the last match and they come into this game bottom of the table. It will be a big task to to return from Adelaide with a win.

Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
STR Team News
Captain Peter Siddle came back into the side for Thursday’s heavy defeat away at Melbourne Stars and we expect him to be joined in the XI for this game by returning Test stars, Alex Carey and Travis Head. Colin de Grandhomme is out for a week or so with a hamstring issue.
STR Key Players
- Chris Lynn - the leading run scorer in the tournament hit only one run from four balls before being dismissed on Thursday and he will be determined to deliver a big score in this match.
- Travis Head - The 29 year old left-hander has had an excellent summer with the national team and will return to the Strikers full of confidence ahead of this game.
- Henry Thornton - The tall pace bowler has seen his rhythm interrupted after being rested for a couple of games but he should be back to his best for this clash.
Adelaide Strikers won two in a row prior to their defeat to Melbourne Stars and have now lost three of their last five matches.

HEA Team News
Against Perth Scorchers at the Gabba on Wednesday, Brisbane Heat welcomed back their Test trio of Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw but they could only contribute scores between 10 and 28. No changes are anticipated ahead of this fixture.
HEA Key Players
- Usman Khawaja - The captain hit a 23-ball 28 in his first BBL appearance of the season against Perth Scorchers. He has been in exceptional international form and will play a naturally aggressive game.
- Michael Neser - The bowling all-rounder had one of his weakest games in the last match but has been Brisbane Heat’s strongest performer across this BBL 2022-23.
- Matthew Kuhnemann - The slow left-arm spinner picked up one of the two wickets in the last match. Expect the batters to go after him but that will increase his chances of picking up dismissals.
Brisbane Heat come into this game with only one win from their last six matches. However, they won their match before this run, against Adelaide Strikers.
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing 11
Usman Khawaja (c), Josh Brown, Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw, Jimmy Peirson (wk), Max Bryant, Ross Whiteley, Michael Neser, Xavier Bartlett, Matthew Kuhnemann, Spencer Johnson
