TEAMS PREVIEW
Northern Territory Strike Preview
Northern Territory Strike began their campaign with a clinical eight-wicket victory over Nepal . Opting to field first, the Strike bowlers maintained tight discipline from the start.
Tom Menzies struck in the opening over before spinner Hamish Martin ripped through the middle order with a standout spell of 3 for 19. Backed by tidy overs from William Blair, D'Arcy Short, and Sam Barker, they restricted Nepal to a modest 122 for 8 in 20 overs.
In response, the Strike batting unit made light work of the chase. Despite losing openers Jaga Koduru and captain D'Arcy Short inside the powerplay to Pawan Sarraf, the hosts never lost control.
Douwtjie Hoogenboezem anchored the innings with a fluent unbeaten 50 off 37 deliveries, alongside Jordan Silk's explosive 42 not out from 28 balls. Together, their unbroken 84-run stand guided NT Strike across the target in just 15 overs with 30 balls remaining.
Northern Territory Strike Predicted Playing XI:
D'Arcy Short (c), Jaga Koduru, Douwtjie Hoogenboezem, Jordan Silk, Reiley Mark, Matt Hammond, Hamish Martin, Cadell McMahon (wk), Tom Menzies, Sam Barker, William Blair

Adelaide Strikers Academy Preview
Adelaide Strikers Academy head into this contest on the back off a tough seven-wicket defeat against New Zealand A. Asked to bat first, the Strikers suffered a top-order collapse, stumbling to 53 for 4 inside 11 overs.
Jerrssis Wadia led the fightback with a composed 37 off 29 balls, supported by Lachlan Bangs' 23, but regular strikes from Adithya Ashok and Jayden Lennox triggered another late collapse, bundling them out for 118 in 19.4 overs.
Defending a low total, Adelaide needed early breakthroughs and struck immediately as Jordan Buckingham removed Katene Clarke in the opening over. However, their bowlers struggled to maintain sustained pressure against New Zealand A's counter-attack.

Henry Hunt, Connor Carroll, Thomas Kelly, Jerrssis Wadia, Ryan King, Lachlan Bangs, Harry Nielsen (c & wk), Waheguru Dhillon, Henry Thornton, Tim Oakley, Jordan Buckingham
