The Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder will aim to enhance their title credentials when they clash at the Adelaide Oval on Monday night. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.40pm (AEDT).
The Strikers will be looking to bounce back from their first loss in BBL04, while the Thunder will return to the field just three days after their clash with the Hobart Hurricanes.

For the home team, their batsman will aim to fire once more, after falling victim to a red-hot Scorchers attack last match.
Look for Tim Ludeman to be in the runs again; he’s struck 199 runs in five hits at a strike rate of 145.26.
The Thunder will be a dangerous opponent, boasting a well rounded side.
Veterans Jacques Kallis and Michael Hussey have led the way with the bat, both in the competition’s top ten run scores going into the last round, and much will depend on their form once more.
History between the two teams is hard to come by, having not played each other in over 12 months. Despite being the shortest format of the game, the Strikers will enjoy a few extra days off to reflect on their first defeat.
Prediction:
This should be a classic. Both teams produce world class fire power, and as the competition heads into the business end of the season, there’s no form like winning form.
Can the Strikers remain at the top end of the ladder, or will the experience of the Thunder come to front?
For mine, I think the Strikers will give their vocal home crowd reason to cheer, and sneak home in a tight one.
