KFC Big Bash League will return to Gabba Cricket
Ground on Sunday when Brisbane Heats will host unbeaten Adelaide
Strikers side.
Heats will be desperate to win on home after loosing their last match to
Hurricane even after setting big target like of 209.Although they will
be feeling confident after that batting performance and surely be
excited to play in gabba where they have won the last time they had
played.That's the only victory they have from their three matches in the
league so far.
On other hand, Adelaide Strikers had dream start
in the league.They have won all their three matches so far.Skipper Johan
Botha is leading the team by example with his economical off
spin,Statistics and shuffling of his bowlers to stop flow of run.Tim
Ludeman and Simmons are taking opposition bowlers under fire from the
very first ball.
Team news - For Heats in the last match batsmen
performed out of their shell to set big score.Latest addition Peter
Forest was stand out performer with opener Pierson.But as they failed to
defend such big score they had now thought of bringing back Fast bowler
Mark Stekeete and its not rocket science to understand that how much
they missed him in their last game.
For Table toppers Strikers
there are couple of concerns for the squad to take Heat.The ever young
Brad Hodge has suffered a Arm injury and is likely to miss rest of
tournament.While the in-form pacer Shaun Tait is rested for this match
as he is having some hamstring injury.Replacing them will be Putland and
Kingston.
Its a great opportunity for Heats to get 2 points
against in-form Adelaide Strikers in absence of Tait and Hodge and we
think here at Gabba they can surely come back to their winning ways.
Prediction - Brisbane Heats to win !!
