So far, the Strikers have won five and lost five of their ten games. In the tournament, the Heat have won only two of their nine games. The game begins at 15:30 local time in Adelaide.
Adelaide Strikers lost a close game earlier in the season in the reverse matchup and will be desperate to win this match. They will be a very difficult side to beat with their returning Test players.
The return of their Test players was insufficient to return Brisbane Heat to winning ways in their most recent encounter, and they enter this game at the bottom of the standings. It will be difficult to return from Adelaide with a victory.

Adelaide Strikers is the favorite to win this match.
Although winning a T20 match only requires one exceptional effort, the Brisbane Heat lineup contains very few batsmen capable of producing such innings. When you compare that to the Adelaide Strikers lineup, you can see why nearly all commentators believe the Strikers will win this game. We anticipate large scores from Adelaide Strikers batsmen and forecast a win for them over Brisbane Heat.
