The Adelaide Strikers begin their BBL13 campaign at home tonight, but will need to hit the ground running to overcome impressive first-up winners the Brisbane Heat.
Injury to star international recruit Rashin Khan has already thrown the Strikers’ campaign into turmoil, and they are subsequently not expected to challenge for the title this season.
That being said, they still boast some world class players like Travis Head, Alex Carey and big hitters Chris Lynn and D’Arcy Short. Scoring runs therefore shouldn’t be a problem, but they’ll need to find wickets wherever possible.
I thought that the Heat were under the odds in Thursday night’s campaign opener against the Stars, but they were in control from the outset and ultimately won by 103 runs. Colin Munro was outstanding, and unlucky to be stranded on 99.
I’m only expecting the Heat to improve for that hit-out, and they can make it two in a row tonight.
Suggested Bets:
- Heat to Win ($1.75)
- Colin Munro 50+ Runs ($3.60)
