Pre-Match Analysis:
Adelaide Strikers produced one of their best performances off late handing Perth Scorchers their first defeat of the tournament. Bowlers were clinical in the first half with overseas star David Payne and Lloyd Pope gaining the honors by picking up 2 wickets apiece. Later Matthew Short and Chris Lynn played entertaining knocks with duo scripting half-centuries each to power Strikers for their only 2nd win in this BBL. With this success, their playoff qualification is very much alive in the cards as they moved to 6th spot in the standings with 5 points. Alex Carey is set to take part for the first time in the competition and they need to make subtle changes to their batting line-up to fit the Aussie International.
Hobart Hurricanes went so close to beating table toppers Brisbane Heat on Friday however it didn’t succeed and ended up losing the game by one run (DLS method) in a rain-marred game. The bowlers did a spectacular job to keep Brisbane Heat for a below-par score of 132 with Chris Jordan and Nathan Ellis, claiming 5 wickets between them. They failed to achieve the revised target of 118 despite a gritty knock of 55 from Indian origin Nikhil Chaudhary. They still hold, the 5th position in the standings with 6 points.
