The reverse leg of Tuesday afternoon’s one-sided affair will play out between the Strikers and Heat and the Adelaide Oval this afternoon. We take a look at Friday’s (17/1/2020) BBL Big Bash 2020 match which is between the Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heat. The Brisbane Heat go into the match as favourites but the bookies have it as a pretty even match.

Preview:
The Strikers were awful earlier this week. They failed to get anything of a foothold at The Gabba and were lucky to break triple figures. They will need to improve tenfold if they are any hope of reversing the result, but they have well and truly fallen out of form and it’s tough imagining them winning.
The Heat were the opposite of the Strikers in Brisbane (obviously) and loom as a serious BBL 9 contender. AB de Villiers looked excellent in his Heat debut, while James Pattinson was virtually unplayable.
I’m expecting a slightly better performance from the Strikers at home, but a similar result.
