Show Preview
The Sydney Thunder are going for three wins on the trot as they play the Adelaide Strikers at Manuka Oval in Canberra. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match from 6:10pm AEDT.
Wins over the Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades have positioned the Thunder as early front-runners in the new BBL season. Led by Usman Khawaja and Alex Hales, the Thunder managed to chase down a competitive total against the Renegades two days ago, winning the match by six wickets with just two balls to spare.
Despite losing his place in Australia’s Test and ODI squads, Khawaja has let his batting do the talking recently. His half-century was a key component of the Thunder’s victory over the Renegades.
Khawaja is expected to line up against the Strikers in Canberra after a slight injury scare against Melbourne. His partnership with Alex Hales will be crucial in determining if Sydney are able to maintain their undefeated run.
The Strikers meanwhile are completely fresh, but this may work against them given that Khawaja, Callum Ferguson and Hales are in good form with the bat, so getting them out could be tricky for an Adelaide pace attack playing their first match of the season.
However, the Thunder could suffer from fatigue after two wins, but this should be negated given that confidence levels are high.
Prediction
The Strikers didn’t qualify for the finals last season, finishing a disappointing seventh. More will be expected from a team coached by former Australian Test bowler Jason Gillespie. With Peter Siddle and Travis Head on Test duties however, the Thunder have the form and confidence on the board to make it three wins on the trot.
Thunder to win.
