THU vs STR Match Preview
On Sunday, the Sydney Thunder will face the Adelaide Strikers in the BBL 2021/22 Knockout game. The Sydney Thunder finished third in the rankings with 35 points. The presence of Ashes star Usman Khawaja in the team has boosted the Thunder unit’s confidence.
The Adelaide Strikers, on the other hand, did everything right in the Eliminator game against the Hobart Hurricanes, winning by a score of 22 runs to earn a berth in the Knockout. Alex Carey hit a superb 67 in his first game of the competition to give his team a strong start. Both teams have top players in their lineups, and we can expect a tense match between them. The winner of this match will face the Sydney Sixers on Wednesday.
