Their bowling attack seems to be perfect to defend small targets also and their batting line-up has the highest run-scorer of the tournament who can play some destructive innings and can turn around the match for his team at any time of the game. The top order led by Chris Lynn and Matthew Short looks rock solid as they are the top scorers in this tournament with 393 and 359 runs respectively.

If Adelaide Strikers bat first, we expect a score of 175 plus runs. If Brisbane Heat bat first, expect somewhere between (130 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 out quickly Brisbane heat can turn the match around them, if not then we can see a monstrous total on board.
