Adelaide Strikers are favorites to win
Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heat meet in the 2021-22 BBL at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday evening. The Strikers have won one and lost three whilst picking up four bonus points from their four opening games. Brisbane Heat have an identical record but have scored only one bonus point. Read on as we preview this game. Match 18 begins in Adelaide at 18:45 local time.
Adelaide Strikers have lost their last two games but with Rashid Khan in good form they will always be a threat. They will fancy their chances of getting a result against Brisbane Heat.
Brisbane Heat continue to struggle with the bat, none of their batters have registered a half-century in the tournament yet. If they can get going and post a useful total then they have the bowling attack to be competitive.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Adelaide Strikers have chosen to bat when they have won the toss in this season’s competition. Brisbane Heat have fielded first when they have won the toss. Irrespective of which skipper wins the toss, we predict that Strikers will be batting first.
The surface at the Adelaide Oval was advantageous to the spin bowlers during the WBBL but we expect this wicket to be more responsive to the pace bowlers.
The game will begin under sunny skies and the temperature at 27 degrees before falling to 21 during the evening.

Peter Siddle’s side have all the ingredients to be a successful BBL side but as yet they have not been able to string together a run of successful results. They pushed Sydney Sixers all the way in their last game but were beaten in the final over. We expect to see the same XI for the Strikers in this game.
The Strikers come into this game off the back of successive defeats and only one win from their last five games in this competition.
Jake Weatherald, Matt Short, Matthew Renshaw, Jonathan Wells, Thomas Kelly, Harry Nielsen (wk), George Garton, Rashid Khan, Daniel Worrall, Peter Siddle (c), Fawad Ahmed
After beating Melbourne Renegades to get their season up and running, Brisbane Heat were brought back down to earth with a 53 run defeat against Sydney Thunder on Sunday. Out of their top seven batters, only Tom Cooper reached double figures. We expect the Heat batters to be given the opportunity to redeem themselves in this game.
Brisbane Heat’s form is a cause for concern with only one win from their last five BBL fixtures.
Max Bryant, Chris Lynn, Ben Duckett, Sam Heazlett, Tom Abell, Jimmy Peirson (c) (wk), James Bazley, Xavier Bartlett, Mark Steketee, Mitchell Swepson, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Tom Cooper
Brisbane Heat won their last meeting but Adelaide Strikers have the edge across the entire head to head.

The bookies are expecting the Strikers to come out on top in this fixture.
The Brisbane Heat top order produced single figure scores in their last game but we expect them all to be looking to make amends in this match,
We are recommending Matt Short, Jake Weatherald and Thomas Kelly as our batting tips for Adelaide Strikers. Kelly top scored in Tuesday’s match.
Chris Lynn, Ben Duckett and Max Bryant are our tips for Brisbane Heat with the bat. All bat in the top three and must get their team off to a stronger start in this game.
For Adelaide Strikers, Rashid Khan, Wes Agar and George Garton are our bowling tips. Khan and Garton took 5 wickets between them against Sydney Sixers.
Mitchell Swepson, Mujeeb ur Rahmand and Mark Steketee are our bowling recommendations for Brisbane Heat. We expect Steketee to enjoy the conditions and surface at the Adelaide Oval.
With both teams struggling for form, this game could be decided by whichever team are able to loosen up and find some consistency with the bat. Adelaide Strikers look to have the stronger bowling line-up and we are backing them to win this match.
