ADS vs SYT Match Preview
The Adelaide Strikers displayed an exceptional performance in their previous encounters against Sydney Thunder, emerging victorious in both matches. Particularly noteworthy was their away leg, where they managed to dismiss Sydney Thunder for a mere 15 runs, setting a record for the lowest-ever total in the BBL.
With their upcoming match on Tuesday, the Strikers are hopeful of replicating their previous success. The team's batting lineup heavily relies on the skills of Matthew Short and D'Arcy Short, who are expected to open the innings. Supported by the likes of Chris Lynn, Jake Weatherald, Adam Hose, and James Bazley, the middle order appears to be quite formidable.
However, it is the Strikers' seam attack that is considered their greatest strength. Wes Agar, Henry Thornton, and Brendan Doggett possess the ability to be highly effective with the new ball. Additionally, the squad boasts two specialist spinners in the form of Ben Manenti and Cameron Boyce.
Sydney Thunder boasts a formidable opening pair consisting of Alex Hales and Cameron Bancroft, both known for their powerful hitting abilities. Their aim is to provide a strong start for their team. The middle-order is equally strong, thanks to the presence of Matthew Gilkes, Alex Ross, and Oliver Davies. Additionally, the team benefits from the all-rounders Daniel Sams and Chris Green, who add depth to the batting lineup.
In terms of the bowling attack, Sams will be supported by Liam Hatcher, Zaman Khan, and Nathan McAndrew in the seam department. On the other hand, Green will team up with Tanveer Sangha in the spin department. Sangha showcased his talent in the previous match by taking 3 wickets for just 21 runs, despite the team's loss.

Pitch Report
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.
