ADS vs SYT Team Previews
Adelaide Strikers
The Strikers’ opening match of this season was washed out due to inclement weather, forcing them to share points with Brisbane Heat. The team will now hope to gather 2 full points on Tuesday and further cement their place in the top 4.
The Adelaide Strikers put up a brilliant performance against Sydney Thunder last season, winning both matches against them. The away leg of that season saw the Strikers bowl Sydney Thunder out for just 15 runs, which is the lowest-ever total for a team in the BBL.
They will now hope to put up a similar performance on Tuesday. A lot of hope hinges on Matthew Short and D’Arcy Short, who are likely to open the batting for them. The middle order consists of Chris Lynn, Jake Weatherald, Adam Hose, and James Bazley.
The seam attack is likely to be the Strikers’ big strength. Wes Agar, Henry Thornton, and Brendan Doggett can all be quite lethal with the new ball. The squad has two specialist spinners in the form of Ben Manteti and Cameron Boyce.

Sydney Thunder
The Sydney Thunder didn’t have the best of starts to their campaign as the team lost its opening fixture to Brisbane Heat. While these are still early days in the tournament, Thunder will look to bounce back soon to improve its qualification chances.
The team has a strong opening pair in Alex Hales and Cameron Bancroft. Both of them are big hitters of the ball and will look to give their team a strong start. The middle-order is pretty strong too, thanks to the presence of Matthew Gilkes, Alex Ross, and Oliver Davies, while all-rounders Daniel Sams and Chris Green add depth to the batting.
Sams will join the likes of Liam Hatcher, Zaman Khan, and Nathan McAndrew in the seam attack, while Green joins Tanveer Sangha in the spin department. Sangha was particularly impressive in the last match as he picked up 3 wickets for just 21 runs, albeit for a losing cause.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval supports the seamers early on in the match. The new ball swings around and there is plenty of pace and bounce on offer. However, as the ball gets older and softer, it does get easier to bat. The team batting first will look to score around 170 runs.
The spinners might get some turn in the second half. The weather is likely to remain cloudy but there isn’t much chance of rain.
The temperature will remain below 20 degrees Celsius.
ADS vs SYT Betting Tips
Both teams are neck and neck when it comes to past head-to-head encounters and it is difficult to pick a clear favorite here. However, we feel that the Strikers have an edge in this contest. They completed a double over the Thunder last season and should come into this contest with plenty of confidence. That said, we expect Sydney Thunder to give a good fight.
Bet on Adelaide Strikers to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Adelaide Oval is overall a good batting surface. As both teams have some quality batsmen playing for them, we are expecting a high-scoring encounter between the two.
The outfield at the Adelaide Oval is pretty quick and the boundaries aren’t the biggest. We, therefore, expect plenty of 4s to be scored.
The Strikers are expected to open with Matthew Short and D’Arcy Short. Both of them are quality batsmen, capable of playing a big inning. We are therefore backing the Strikers to put up the higher opening stand.
