On Tuesday the 20th of December, the Adelaide Strikers take on the Sydney Thunder at the Adelaide Oval. The two teams come together once again after playing each other in a historic match a week ago which saw the Thunder bowled out for the lowest total in T20 cricket history, for only 15 in 5.5 overs!
At the time of writing and although only in the stages of the tournament, the Strikers currently sit at the table having won two from two so far. While for the Thunder, this will be their fourth game of the tournament, of which they have won one and lost two so far.
After their devastating and humiliating defeat at the hands of the Strikers, the Thunder had a much-improved performance against the Melbourne Renegades, but unfortunately still suffered defeat by 4 wickets.
The Strikers obviously had that memorable win over the Thunder, but they also recorded a win against titleholders the Sydney Sixers. With these two dominant wins, the Sixers have looked like the best team in the tournament so far, but it is obviously still early days. Strikers fast bowler, Henry Thornton, has been the most impressive player in the tournament so far, as he has picked up 9 wickets in just these first two games.
With such an emphatic victory in their first match a week ago, and with Adelaide being at home for this game, we expect them to do the double over Thunder this year. We also expect Rashid Khan to have a big impact and for him to be the player of the match.
