ADS vs SYT, 9th Match Preview

Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder meet for the second time in five days in Match 9 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League on Tuesday evening at the Adelaide Oval. This will be a huge test of character for Sydney Thunder who lost the first clash between the teams by 124 runs after being bowled out for 15 in 5.5 overs. Adelaide Strikers went all the way to the Challenger fixture last year but already look like a stronger proposition. On their home ground, most observers will be expecting a win for the Strikers. There will be plenty of focussed minds for Sydney Thunder who know that they must perform and regain some respect against Adelaide Strikers. Thunder were much improved against the Renegades but it will take a big leap to be too strong for the Strikers in this match.

Topmost Picks for ADS vs SYT Dream11 Prediction, 9th Match:

Top Picks – Sydney Thunder

• Daniel Sams – It has been a fine start to the season from an individual perspective for the experienced left-arm pace bowler. He dismissed Adam Hose and Thomas Kelly in the previous game against the Strikers.

• Alex Hales – The tall Engliand opener has made two scores of 16 alongside a two-ball duck against Adelaide Strikers. He made 86 not out from 47 balls against India in the T20 World Cup semi-final the last time he played at this venue.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

• Rashid Khan – The leg-spinner didn’t get a chance to bowl when Thunder were bowled out inside six overs. However, he has already picked up three wickets at the Adelaide Oval in the 2022 BBL.

• Matthew Short – The right-handed opener made only nine against Thunder on Friday but will relish the chance to return to the Adelaide Oval where he hit 84 runs from 53 balls last Wednesday.
