Renshaw is expected to bounce back and surpass a run total of 23.5, while Bartlett remains a key bowling asset.

Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat Big Bash League Tips

Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat Big Bash League Expert Tips


Brisbane will celebrate the New Year by sweeping Adelaide getting their second victory against the Strikers in just 4 days.

Brisbane completed the formidable task of defending their total after batting first, which has only been done three times this season, beating Adelaide by 7 runs at the Gabba on Saturday. 

They also overcame a slow start from their top order to post a total of 179 and defended it against the Strikers that have had a dry start with the bat in BBL15. The depth of the Brisbane batting line-up, especially the form of Matt Renshaw, who actually got out for 1 in the match against Adelaide, gives Brisbane a clear edge in this contest. 

Expect BBL15’s leading run scorer Renshaw to have a bounce back performance with the bat and score over his run total of 23.5. While with the ball it will be Xavier Bartlett again that collect a couple of wickets after taking 3 scalps in the first edition of this matchup.

  • Brisbane won the first match at the Gabba by 7 runs in BBL15
  • The Heat have won 3 of the last 4 against the Strikers.
  • Matt Renshaw leads the BBL with 196 runs.
  • Xavier Bartlett took 3 wickets in the first match between the Heat vs Strikers

Adelaide Strikers Form


The Strikers will be desperate for revenge at home in Adelaide after their 7-run loss to Brisbane last Saturday needing a victory to stay in touch with the top 4 teams after winning just 1 match in their opening 3 matches.

Besides for Matt Short (134), the runs have been hard to find for Adelaide with their opener the only player to have scored over 100 runs in the opening 3 matches with Liam Scott the next best with 82.

On the bowling front the wickets have been pretty evenly spread with Luke Wood topping the Strikers with 5 wickets with Hasan Ali and Lloyd Pope taking 4 wickets.

Brisbane Heat Form


Matt Renshaw has been one of the most consistent batters in BBL15 after 4 matches, leading the runs tally with 196 after 4 innings, scoring no less than 18 and one of few with century this season. 

Along with Max Bryant (130 runs) and Jack Wildermuth (125 runs) the Heat have the batting order to set or chase a large enough total, as we saw against Perth.

The bowling has maybe been where they have been let down so far this season with all-rounder Wildermuth the top wicket taker in the team with 8 from 4 matches while the next best is Australian T20 quick Xavier Bartlett with 6 wickets.

The Heat are well placed though despite a 2-2 record, still sitting in third on the BBL ladder.
