T20s is a fast-paced format and as evident from the points table in the Big Bash League 2021, it is unpredictable as well. The state of the tournament has changed altogether as compared to that in the last week and if those are signs of things to come, the fans and the punters are both in for a splendid ride. The excitement is only going to grow hereon with some cracking contests set to take place in the coming week.
Up next in the competition, Adelaide Strikers are all set to take on Brisbane Heat in an encounter wherein both these sides will be desperately searching for a win. Although the two teams are far apart on the ladder, they haven't done too differently in the competition thus far. This can prove to be a tournament defining fixture for both these sides and a cracking contest is certainly on the cards here.
Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat Big Bash League 2021 match will be played at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday, 23rd December 2021.
Adelaide Strikers may be placed right outside the top-four at the moment, at the fifth spot to be precise, they certainly have not done anything substantial in the tournament so far. From a total of four matches played, they have won just one match, which is the same as the number of matches won by Melbourne Renegades, who are currently placed at the bottom.
The reasons Adelaide Strikers are still pretty much afloat in the middle part of the points table is that they have won multiple Bash Boost Points, which has taken their points tally to 7 points. Also, they still have a manageable net run rate of -0.125, which shows that they have not been dominated as much as some of the other teams on the ladder have been.
The Strikers are coming off a disappointed loss at the hands of Sydney Sixers in a well-fought match. Despite the loss, the Strikers would take pride in fighting Sixers hard and dragging the match till the last over despite scoring an under-par total first up. Batting first on a decent surface, the Strikers managed to put up a total of just 147 runs on the board as all of their stalwarts failed to fire. The likes of Matthew Short and Jake Weatherald together failed to provide their side a solid start and their middle-order had to do a repair job in the middle overs.
Had it not been for the important cameos by Matt Renshaw, Jonathan Wells, and Thomas Kelly, Adelaide Strikers would have ended with an even smaller total. Their bowlers fought well to make this total a challenging one, which never looked like one at the half-way mark, especially against a potent batting unit of Sydney Sixers. Rashid Khan, once again, was the pick of their bowlers as he returned with the terrific figures of 3 for 20 in his four overs. He was ably assisted by Fawad Ahmed, who bowled a miserly spell of 4-0-16-1. The Strikers' quicker bowlers, however, were a tad too expensive and will need to step-up their game in this upcoming fixture.
All in all, Adelaide Strikers do have a slightly under-par batting unit, but they have a bowling attack that can compensate for an iffy batting unit. Having said that, their batsmen will still need to provide their bowlers a fighting total, which they failed at in the last game. If the batting clicks for the Strikers and the bowlers are able to do as they did against the Sixers, Brisbane Heat will certainly have their work cut out.

Brisbane Heat are going through a rough patch at the moment, which will certainly remind them of the campaign they had last year. However, this is just about the time when Brisbane Heat started getting some favorable results and they will be desperate to get some points written against their name on the ladder in their next few matches.
As it currently stands, Brisbane Heat are placed at the second spot from the bottom and will be kicking themselves with the performances they have put in. They have three points in four matches coupled with a poor net run rate of -0.732.
They started off on a rather poor note, losing both of their opening two contests. Just when their campaign seemed to be going downhill, they registered a much-needed win over Melbourne Renegades in a rather one-sided fixture. However, they could not sustain the momentum and lost their subsequent match to Sydney Thunder by a massive margin of 53 runs.
On paper, Brisbane Heat have a terrific side, but their stars have not been firing as well as they are needed to. It is high time for their experienced players to step-up, batting in particular, and if that happens, Brisbane Heat will prove to be one formidable unit to deal with.

With sun shining bright on the match day and the day preceding, the surface is expected to be hard and dry. There will be assistance for spinners and the surface will get slower as the match progresses. Considering that and the result of the last match played here, the captain winning the toss is expected to bat first.

Adelaide Oval is one of the most spin-friendly venues in Australia and we saw the surface's bowler friendliness in the last match that was played here. However, we do expect the surface to be a lot better than it was in the previous match here. Hitting on the up and through the line might not be as easy as it is at some of the other venues. Having said that, batsmen once set can utilize the conditions to their advantage. A total of more than 160 runs batting first could prove to be a very competitive score here.

Even though the Strikers and Heat have the same win-loss ratio in the tournament thus far, the Strikers have appeared to be a much better equipped side. They have fought hard on most occasions unlike Brisbane Heat, who have lost most of their matches by massive margins. Brisbane Heat are a terrific side on paper, but they have lacked the execution big time. Adelaide Strikers, on the other hand, have utilized their limited resources well and will be a bit more confident. Also, the fact that they are playing at their home turf adds to their advantage. Keeping that into consideration and the other factors stated above, betting on an Adelaide Strikers win should be the way to go here.
Rashid Khan has been the best bowler for the Strikers in recent times and with the surface likely to be suitable for spin bowlers, we will have a major role to play here. Also, Brisbane Heat batsmen are known to be a bit vulnerable against quality spinners and that will make Khan an even bigger threat. Bet on Rashid Khan to be the best bowler of the day for the Strikers.
This is one of those venues in Australia where bowlers have a big role to play. The last match here proved to be a low-scoring affair as the surface got slower as the game progressed. We expect something similar to happen this time around as well and batting on the match total to be less than 300 runs should be the way to go.
Adelaide Strikers may have struggled with the bat in the tournament so far, but one man who has looked comfortable for them is Matthew Short. He has already played a couple of big knocks and will be longing for another one here in this match. A bet on him to be the top-scorer for the Strikers seems to be a lucrative option.
