The game starts in Canberra at 19:15 local time.

Sydney Thunder lost by 19 runs on Friday, and they have now dropped six of the seven games they have played so far this season. The squad is strengthened by David Warner’s comeback, but they will face a formidable Adelaide club in this encounter.

The Adelaide Strikers have now gone on a winning streak after being soundly defeated by the Perth Scorchers on January 3. They will go to Canberra hoping to win again because they have a core group of players who are reliable with the bat and the ball.

Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers Team Preview & Squads

Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder have just pride left to play for in the BBL this season, with just two games remaining in the group stage and no hope of making it to the playoffs. Following their Friday loss in the Sydney derby, no injuries were reported.

In his 37-run innings, aggressive left-hander David Warner blasted two sixes and one four in his first BBL appearance of the season. Former England international Alex Hales hit six fours at the top of the order on Friday, and in his previous seven innings, he has only scored one run under the century.

In his most recent game in Canberra, 22-year-old leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha delivered statistics of 3/21 after taking 2/22 against the Sydney Sixers. Daniel Sams, the left-arm fast-medium bowler dismissed Steve Smith with the opening delivery of the game during the Sydney derby on Friday.

Adelaide Strikers

Chris Lynn is questionable for this game, which is his last game of the season before he heads to the ILT20 competition. Although we anticipate that the Strikers will give him every opportunity to play in this match, we won’t take any chances about his hamstring issue.

The captain, who has scored 435 runs so far this season, is full of confidence after hitting 39 more runs off of 25 balls in the victory over the Hurricanes. In Hobart, Jake Weatherald, a left-hander, returned to the team in place of Chris Lynn and made an outstanding effort to win Player of the Match, scoring 80 runs off just 32 balls.

Since joining the Strikers in January, Henry Thornton, a 27-year-old right-arm fast bowler with five wickets in four games, has been a great addition to the bowling attack. In Match 33, England international Jamie Overton picked up the wickets of Nikhil Chaudhary and Matthew Wade, extending his impressive performance in the BBL 2023–24 competition.

Sydney Thunder vs Adelaide Strikers outfield report 

Manuka Oval, Canberra

At the Manuka Oval, the team chasing a target in the second innings has won more than 58% of T20 matches. Whoever wins the toss will, in our opinion, decide to field first.

Although some showers are predicted for the day, maybe the rain will stay away because winds are predicted to increase in the evening.

Although teams have found it difficult to chase down scores over 200, the pitch is generally ideal for batting.
