Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat Preview
An intriguing match awaits this evening as two sides that are still well and truly in the hunt for finals, but who are currently sitting outside of the top four clash, in what is likely to prove a crucial tie.
The Strikers have been winning one and losing one since Christmas, and that inconsistency has seen them drop out of the four and ultimately sit second last ahead of this clash.
They are clearly weakened without Rashid Khan, and simply need to win wherever possible if they are any chance of sneaking into the finals.
The Heat’s resurgence has slowed somewhat throughout the last week, but a win tonight would thrust them right back into the four. I think that it will happen.
