Betting Tips
Thomas Rogers to score Under 15.5 runs
1.85
Rogers hasn’t been in the best of forms this season and has failed to cross the 15-run mark in both matches. He is averaging just over 23 runs in his 27 innings. As he faces a strong bowling unit of the Strikers, we expect his woes to continue.
Total wickets Under 13.5
1.80
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval isn’t the easiest for the bowlers. None of the last 5 matches played here have seen more than 13 wickets fall and we are expecting that trend to continue.
Both, the Adelaide Strikers and the Melbourne Stars will be searching for their first win of the season as they face off in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. The match will be played on Friday at the Adelaide Oval.

AS vs MS Team Previews
Adelaide Strikers
The Adelaide Strikers didn’t get the best of starts this season as they were defeated by Sydney Thunder in a high-scoring encounter. Nevertheless, the team will look to build up on the positives and put up a better performance this time around.
The Adelaide Strikers is home to a power-packed batting unit headed by Matthew Short and Jake Weatherald. Weatherald looked in fine touch on Tuesday as he scored 40 of just 19 deliveries and will look to put up a similar performance in this match as well.
The middle order includes Chris Lynn, Jamie Overton, Harry Nielsen, and Alex Ross. All-rounders Fabian Allen and James Bazley add depth to the batting. Coming to the bowling, Henry Thornton will lead the attack with the new ball and will likely be joined by Bazley.
The Strikers have a spin-heavy attack consisting of Cameron Boyce, Lloyd Pope, Fabian Allen, and Short.
Adelaide Strikers Expected Playing 11
- Matthew Short (C)
- Jake Weatherald
- Chris Lynn
- Alex Ross
- Harry Nielsen (WK)
- Jamie Overton
- Fabian Allen
- James Bazley
- Lloyd Pope
- Henry Thornton
- Cameron Boyce
Melbourne Stars
The Melbourne Stars have lost both the matches played so far and have been pushed down to the bottom of the table.
A lot will depend on the opening pair of Joe Clarke and Thomas Rogers. The duo has struggled to give the team a steady start in both games and that has put pressure on the middle order. The team is sorely missing the services of Glenn Maxwell, who is recovering from a hamstring injury and is yet to find a worthy replacement.
The all-rounders including Marcus Stoinis, Tom Curran, and Beau Webster have done a decent job with the bat so far and will retain their place in the XI. The bowlers have put up an underwhelming performance so far.
Despite having some quality seamers like Peter Siddle and Adam Milne, they have been unable to defend targets. Hamish McKenzie, who is the full-time spinner on the team, has managed to pick only 1 wicket so far.
Melbourne Stars Expected Playing 11
- Joe Clarke
- Thomas Rogers
- Sam Harper (WK)
- Marcus Stoinis (C)
- Hilton Cartwright
- Beau Webster
- Tom Curran
- Brody Couch
- Adam Milne
- Hamish McKenzie
- Campbell Kellaway
AS vs MS Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval is usually good to bat on, thanks to the consistent bounce it offers. The ball comes onto the bat and playing shots will be easier compared to some other venues. That said, there is a covering of grass on the surface that helps the faster bowlers when the ball is new. A score of around 180 can be considered a par score.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures of around 27 degrees.
AS vs MS Betting Tips
Both teams are struggling at the moment and will be desperate to get back to winning ways here. While there is no clear favorite, we feel that the Adelaide Strikers have a slightly better chance of winning thanks to a stronger batting unit and a well-rounded bowling department.
Bet on the Adelaide Strikers to win.
