Both the team are coming from a loss from their previous match and they’ll be looking to win this match at Adelaide Oval Stadium, Adelaide on 31st December.
Adelaide Strikers who are currently standing 6th in the points table would look to improve their standing as they are defending champions. In the previous encounter against Perth Scorcher they were bundled out for mere 88. One of the main concern is the form of Alex Carey and Colin Ingram. If they need to win this match they’ll require match winning performance from them.
Sydney Thunders who are currently at the 3rd position on the points table. They were defeated by Hobart Hurricanes in the previous match where they could not defend 194 run, so their bowling needs to work together. Their mainstay in the batting so far is Jos Buttler who has scored 89 and 63 in previous two matches. Captain Shane Watson and Joe Root need to come good in this match.
