Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder Betting Tips

Sydney Thunder to score low before 1st dismissal

Sydney Thunder did pretty well in their previous season. However, their opening pair did an inadequate job. Matthew Gilkies and Alex Hales opened for the team last year and averaged at 21.69 & 30.62 in the competition. The pair scored 2 & 39 runs before their first dismissal in their two meetings against Adelaide Strikers. The Strikers will be prepared with a more lethal bowling order and will be looking to pick an early wicket in the tournament. In the first game of their campaign this season, Sydney Thunder posted 5 runs before Alex Hales returned to the dugout without scoring any runs. The team is yet to find their batting momentum in the competition and will be expected to lose their first wicket pretty early in the competition.

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder Toss Prediction

Adelaide Oval offers a true surface that generally stays true throughout the game. Since this is the first match of the season to be played at the venue, the pitch is expected to be hard and better for batting. Bowlers, however, should get generous bounce off the surface as well. 41 of the 69 domestic T20 matches played at the Adelaide Oval have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, the team winning the toss is likely to bat first.

Weather Report

No showers are expected in Adelaide during the match. But the weather should be cloudy and cool for the most part. The temperature is likely to remain around the 20-degree mark.

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder Betting Odds

BBL 2022 proved to be a letdown for the Strikers, as they managed just five victories in 14 games, failing to secure a spot in the finals. Despite their campaign, they have had few notable performances from batters and bowlers. Top-order batsman Matt Short scored an impressive 458 runs at an average of 35.23 in 14 innings. Last season, the Strikers' top bowler was seamer Wes Agar, who took 18 wickets at an average of 20.27. In the absence of star bowler Rashid Khan, Agar will have a job on his hands this time. Ben Manenti and Cameron Boyce are the senior spinners and are expected to play an important role.

In the opening game of the competition, Sydney Thunder met with Brisbane Heat and met with a 20-run defeat in the game. BH scored 151 runs in the game. Tanveer Sangha picked 3 wickets for Sydney Thunder. As well as their bowlers did, their batters failed to keep up in the game. They posted 131 runs while losing all the wickets with an over remaining in the game. Oliver Davies scored the highest, 35 runs.
