The Thunder have just 1 win from their 6 games this season and the worst Net Run Rate amongst the 8 teams in the competition. Despite hitting 205 in their most recent outing against the Hurricanes they were still rolled due to their lame bowling attack.
Adelaide haven’t fared much better this season, they have just 2 wins from 5 games but are ahead of the Renegades on Net Run Rate. They have had some luck with the bat in their victories but bowling has still been troublesome.
The expectation in this match is that both teams will likely see out the 20 overs. Whoever bats first will have to overachieve to win because it’s not likely a bowling attack is going to rip through on either side.
The Thunder won the most recent matchup between these teams last season by 2 wickets with 2 balls remaining but the 4 previous victories were all big ones by the Strikers.
Adelaide have shown better form this season, are at home and have the better of the last 5 head to head battles. Take them to win and cover the -3.5 wicket/-4.5 runs line as well as the Total Match Runs to go Over 324.5. Matt Short is averaging 36.8 runs across 5 games this season, take him to surpass 26.5 runs.
- Adelaide have won 4 of the last 5 meetings with the Thunder, all by at least 6 wickets or 124 runs.
- Since the start of the 21/22 season, the average total at Adelaide Oval is 330 runs across 25 games played.
- Matt Short has scored 184 runs this season at an average of 36.8 and a high score of 63.

Adelaide Strikers Form
The Strikers lost their 3rd game of the season on Sunday, getting beaten by 33 runs by the Perth Scorchers. Adelaide won the toss and sent Perth into bat, keeping them to a total of 153/8 off 20 overs.
Adelaide’s bowling form of late has been questionable so to keep Perth to such a low total would have filled them with a world of confidence. But with only Matt Short hitting runs from the top order, the batting collapse was too much to overcome for the Strikers.
They now sit 6th in the standings with a 2-3 record and a negative NRR.
Sydney Thunder Form
Following their most recent loss, a 6 wicket thumping with 13 balls remaining, at the hands of the Hobart Hurricanes, Sydney sit anchored to the bottom of the standings.
They have just the 1 win from 6 games played and will need to win out and have other results go their way to even have a sniff of making it to the finals.
David Warner hit a courageous 130 runs off 65 balls in their loss to Hobart, which included 11 fours and 9 sixes but he had little help around him with both Gilkes and Konstas going for a duck.
The bowling attack once again failed to fire, the first wicket coming in the 9th over and all Hurricanes batsmen reaching double figures. The story of the season for the Thunder.
