Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Adelaide Strikers have already registered 3 wins in the tournament by defeating Sydney Thunder twice and Sydney Sixers once. Their bowling attack seems to be perfect to defend the target and their batting line-up has the highest run-scorer of the tournament who can play some destructive innings. The top order led by Chris Lynn and Matthew Short looks rock solid as they were Adelaide Strikers' highest run-scorer in the previous Big Bash League matches.
If Adelaide Strikers bat first, we expect a score of 160 plus runs. If Brisbane Heat bat first, expects somewhere between (140 to 150) runs.
Chris Lynn is a major threat to Brisbane Heat. He will look to score big runs in the powerplay. If he gets going, then we can see a monstrous total on board.
We are backing the Adelaide Strikers to win the 14th match.
Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers Match Toss Prediction
Brisbane Heat hosted five matches at the Gabba stadium, Brisbane last season. They won two of the five games. The pitch at the Gabba stadium mostly assist spinners. They have won Man of the Match awards in the past Big Bash League Matches. Steve O' Keefe's crucial spell of 1/20 earned him the MOM award in the Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers match last season. Meanwhile, Cameron Boyce had crushed the Brisbane Heat batting line-up with a four-wicket haul for the Melbourne Renegades.
Thus, anything above 150 should be a par score at this venue.

Adelaide Strikers Team Form
Adelaide Strikers are in the red hot form this season with 3 consecutive wins and a net run rate of +3.113. They have been in good touch so far. Skipper Peter Siddle has been doing his captaincy duties really well but as a bowler he has been very expensive in the previous matches. We expect him to make a comeback in the net game.
Henry Thornton has been phenomenal in the bowling department for the Men in Blue. Colin de Grandhomme can play an all-round role for the Adelaide Strikers in the forthcoming match.
