Only a handful of games remain in the BBL this season, with both the Strikers and Heat fighting for a top-five spot.

The Strikers have been fairly impressive in BBL 2021, garnering 20 points. However, their position in the points table suggests otherwise. Alex Carey has led them admirably, with Wes Agar wreaking havoc with the ball. Their top-five chances have been massively boosted by the arrival of Travis Head and Michael Neser, who might feature fin this BBL game

Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat have been also been impressive of late in the BBL. With 21 points in their kitty, they are very much in the hunt for a BBL playoff place and have Chris Lynn and recruit Morne Morkel in fine form. Mark Steketee and Jack Wildermuth have also done well, which should augur well for the Heat's prospects of winning this BBL game.

With their superior balance and depth, the Heat hold the edge, although the Strikers boast of home advantage, which could play a huge part. With both sides eyeing a crucial win, a riveting contest at the Adelaide Oval could await in the BBL 2021.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Adelaide Oval is expected to be a good one to bat on, but there could be some help on offer for the pacers too.

The ball should skid on to the bat nicely, and the spinners are likely to extract some turn as the game progresses. Wickets in hand could be key for both sides, and 160-170 runs is likely to be a par-score at this venue.

Nevertheless, with the complexion of the pitch not expected to change much during the game, both teams could look to chase after winning the toss.
