Adelaide Strikers Playing XI vs Brisbane Heat- BBL 2025-26, Match 13
Openers: Matthew Short (c), Chris Lynn
Adelaide Strikers, who are coming into the match against the Brisbane Heat on the back of a six-wicket loss against the Melbourne Stars, would want to put on a strong performance with bat, ball, and in the field in this particular match.
The 2017 BB champions would bank on their batters to come good, which wasn’t the case in the last match, as the majority of the batters failed to get going.
The only shining light in the batting department in the previous match against the Stars was the captain of the team, Matthew Short, who scored a vital half-century and took his team to a respectable total while batting first.
Short would look to keep up the good work in the next match as well and would also hope for significant contributions from other batters.
Short’s opening partner, Chris Lynn, who has the reputation of taking the aggressive route while batting at the top of the order, would hope to play in his natural aggressive manner and get the opposition bowlers under pressure.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Jason Sangha, Liam Scott, Alex Ross, Jamie Overton, Harry Nielsen (wk)
The openers will be followed by a middle, which, although doesn’t have big names, but comprise of young players who put their hand up as and when needed.
The middle order of the strikers includes young batters like Jason Sangha and Liam Scott, both of whom have the ability to play match winning knock for the team and would look to do the same against the Heat.
The duo will be supported by Alex Ross, who provides much-needed stability while batting in the middle order.
The Strikers’ batters will have the option of taking an aggressive approach, considering the fact that they bat deep.
Having said that, the onus will be on the top five batters to score the bulk of the runs for the team and not leave it to lower batters to get the job done.
Bowlers: Jerrisis Wadia, Hasan Ali, Henry Thornton, Lloyd Pope
As far as the bowling lineup of the Strikers is concerned, it has bowlers like Jamie Overton and Hasan Ali who bring in a rich vein of experience with them and will look to put that to good use.
The two will be supported by Jerrisis Wadia, Henry Thornton, and Lloyd Pope, with Matthew Short being the other bowling option.
The fast bowling department of the visitors will be looked after by Hasan Ali, Henry Thornton, and Jamie Overton, who will look to pick wickets at regular intervals.
The spin bowling department of the Adelaide Strikers will be handled by Lloyd Pope and Jerrisis Wadia, with assistance from the captain of the team, Matthew Short.
