TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Thunder Preview
Last season, the Thunder endured a dismal campaign, scraping together just a single victory from their eight complete games, propelling them to the bottom of the league. However, this season, they have the unique advantage of a stable squad, as none of their players are part of the Australian Test team.
David Warner, with his leadership ban lifted, will captain the side in his first uninterrupted BBL season. Despite coming into the tournament out of form, Warner has plenty to prove after being overlooked in the IPL auction. Expect him to make a statement on the excellent batting pitches at home.
The Thunder's roster includes valuable additions like Cameron Bancroft, a T20 Blast champion with Gloucestershire, and Sam Konstas. They also have the services of experienced all-rounder Daniel Sams, West Indies batter Sherfane Rutherford, and new signing Sam Billings, who penned a multi-year overseas contract after his success with Brisbane Heat in BBL 13.
The team's pace attack is anchored by Sams and Wes Agar, supported by a genuine fast bowler in Lockie Ferguson from New Zealand. This formidable pace battery is further bolstered by all-rounder Nathan McAndrew, adding considerable depth to the lineup.
On the spin front, Chris Green remains a dependable option, while young leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha, who made his T20I debut for Australia last year, brings a unique dimension to the attack.
ST Over/Under Betting Tips
Bancroft has been a force to be reckoned with in T20 cricket this year, amassing 583 runs in 21 matches. His average of 29.2 runs per game is a testament to his consistency. He's also been a thorn in the side of the Adelaide Strikers, scoring 282 runs against them at an average of 25.6.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:
David Warner (c), Sam Konstas, Cameron Bancroft, Nic Maddinson, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Oliver Davies, Daniel Sams, Chris Green, Wes Agar, Nathan McAndrew, Tanveer Sangha
Sydney Thunder Actual Playing XI:
Oliver Davies, Chris Green, Sam Konstas, Tanveer Sangha, Cameron Bancroft, Lockie Ferguson, David Warner, Nathan McAndrew, Daniel Sams, Sam Billings, Sherfane Rutherford
Adelaide Strikers Preview
Adelaide Strikers may have struggled with consistency last season, but their upset win over the Perth Scorchers in the knockout final at Optus Stadium has shown they are not far off the mark. Matthew Short will remain a fixture at the top of the order for the Strikers. The leading run-scorer in BBL 13, Short piled up 541 runs last season and can deliver big performances throughout the league stage.
However, this season the spotlight might shift to Chris Lynn when it comes to their batting. Known for his six-hitting ability, Lynn has rediscovered form with Adelaide after a stellar career with Brisbane Heat and can be counted on to clear the ropes in multiple innings. With Travis Head and Alex Carey unavailable until the new year, Lynn and D’Arcy Short will hold greater responsibility in carrying the batting lineup.
Bowling-wise, the Strikers look well-prepared. Jamie Overton led the way last season with 16 wickets, while Cameron Boyce and Lloyd Pope claimed 14 and 13, respectively, forming a dependable spin pairing. Henry Thornton is an option for adding pace when needed, and young Jordan Buckingham, at just 24, is a promising talent who could make an impact this season. Overall, the Strikers' attack offers a good balance across all phases of the innings.
AS Over/Under Betting Tips
Last season, Matthew Short was a force to be reckoned with, raining down 43 fours in 11 matches, averaging a whopping 3.9 fours per game. While his four-hitting prowess has slightly diminished this year, averaging 2.78, his penchant for explosive batting, especially in the powerplay overs, makes him a strong bet to hit over 2.5 fours in this match.
The conditions at Manuka Oval are batting friendly, Weatherhald will open the innings and he will look to capitalise on the field restrictions, we back the left hander to hit over 1.5 4's.
Adelaide Strikers Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Short, D’Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Ollie Pope, Alex Ross, Harry Nielsen, Jamie Overton, Fabian Allen, Brendan Doggett/ Jordan Buckingham, Lloyd Pope/Henry Thornton, Cameron Boyce
Adelaide Strikers Actual Playing XI:
Lloyd Pope, Chris Lynn, Jamie Overton, Cameron Boyce, Jake Weatherald, Alex Ross, Matthew Short, Henry Thornton, James Bazley, Fabian Allen, Harry Nielsen
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Known for its flat and slow pitch, the Manuka Oval typically favors batting, with scores often exceeding 160. The short boundaries allow for ample opportunities of boundaries, especially on the leg-side. The ground's dry nature can assist spin bowlers as the game progresses, with the odd ball gripping and catching the batters off guard.
The weather in Canberra will be breezy and warm. There is no forecast of rain so we should get a full game.
SYT vs ADS Pitch Report
The average score batting first at the Manuka Oval is 164. The highest total posted at the venue is Sydney Thunder’s 219/7 versus Melbourne Stars in 2020. They won that game by 75 runs. The team batting first in this match will look to set a score of around 170-180 runs.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The matches at Manuka Oval last season were low scoring where the total match scores were 282 and 281, but for today's game the conditions look much better for batting and the batting lineup of both the teams are filled with power hitters and expect anything between 155-170 runs in the 1st innings and the team batting second to either chase down or come close to the target.
Toss: To Bowl
15 of the 23 T20s played at the Manuka Oval have been won by the team chasing. This suggests that batting second is the better option at the venue.

Winning Prediction
Last season, Sydney Thunder struggled to get going, winning
just one game and finishing eighth on the table. They faced the Adelaide
Strikers twice and were outplayed both times, with Adelaide securing a double
over them. In fact, the Thunder haven’t beaten the Strikers in their last five
meetings. In contrast, Adelaide Strikers had a slow start last season but found
their rhythm, winning four consecutive games to clinch a playoff spot. With a
settled and well-rounded squad this time around, our analysis indicates that
Adelaide Strikers are the favorites heading into their next clash.
Adelaide Strikers are favorites to win against Sydney Thunder.
