Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers Preview

A trip to ‘The Challenger’ match to face either the Scorchers or the Sixers awaits the winner of Sunday’s knockout Qualifier at the ‘G.

The Strikers extended their season with a thrilling 22-run victory over the Hurricanes in the first game of the Playoffs on Friday night, and they’ll be hoping Matthew Short can replicate that performance after scoring 89 off 48 balls with the bat.

The Thunder, meanwhile, come in with a rest advantage after defeating the Renegades on Wednesday night, snapping an ugly two-game losing streak in the process.

As far as this one goes, I’m with the Thunder on top.

Their fielding has been below average during their last few games, but with a couple of extra days to dust themselves off and get their minds right for the finals, I think they’ll be tough to beat.

Sydney has also won three straight over Adelaide dating back to last season, and with the team reloaded with star weapons like Usman Khawaja, it’s highly doubtful we see them Thunder lose to a Strikers team that has struggled for runs all season.
