The 31st match of the Big Bash League 2024-25 promises an exciting matchup as Adelaide Strikers to face Brisbane Heat at Adelaide Oval on Friday 11 January.
The Strikers are currently at the bottom of the points table with 4 points, having suffered a defeat of 5 Hobart Hurricanes in their previous match. On the other hand, Brisbane Heat are in fourth place with 7 points, after 5 wins Sydney Thunderstorm.
This will be the second meeting between the Strikers and the Heat in this tournament as the latter won the first meeting by 3 wickets.
The pitch at Adelaide Oval is expected to provide a level playing field, benefiting both batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers might get some early movement with the new ball, but as the game progresses, the surface is likely to become more batting friendly. Short boundaries will also provide the batsmen with more opportunities to score. Taking these factors into account, the captain who wins the toss may choose to toss first.
