Team Performance
Brisbane Heat:
Brisbane Heat are still trying to find some form after losing to Sydney Thunder where they never really got close to chasing 194. Matt Renshaw made 43 and looked decent but nobody else did much. They lost early wickets and their Power Surge was a mess which pretty much killed any chance they had. They limped to 159/6 in the end. With the ball Jack Wildermuth grabbed two wickets and bowled well but everyone else got smashed which made things even harder for the batters. They’ve brought in left arm pacer Oli Patterson for the December 27 game against Adelaide Strikers. Xavier Bartlett is still leading the side and they know they need to get their act together if they want to move up the table.
Adelaide Strikers:
The Strikers didn’t make the most of a good batting track in their loss to Melbourne Stars and ended up with just 155/8 which always looked short. Matthew Short top scored with 56 but the innings never really got going after they lost early wickets including Chris Lynn and Jason Sangha. Liam Scott and Alex Ross stuck around for a while but nobody really got going or gave them the big finish they needed. Hasan Ali did his job taking two wickets but 155 was never going to be enough and the Stars cruised home pretty easily.
The Strikers have picked a 13-man squad for this game with Harry Manenti keeping his place and Jerrssis Wadia staying on after his first match. Alex Ross is the only one who’s been dropped. The Strikers are down in sixth spot right now with one win and one loss plus their net run rate is below zero. They know they have to bat way better if they want to stick around in this competition.
