Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers Preview
The BBL10 finals are underway on Friday and first cab off the rank is the fourth-placed Heat taking on the fifth-placed Strikers.
Both sides were forced to wait until the final day of the regular season for their respective fates to be sealed, but they have won in, and theoretically have given themselves the same chance of winning the championship and their remaining rivals.
The Heat, while inconsistent, took the luck out of the equation by beating the high-flying and (at that point) table-topping Perth Scorchers. Chris Lynn looked good, as did Marnus, and that performance and result has surely instilled a huge amount of confidence.
The Strikers really have only just been getting by since Rashid Khan departed, and they enter this off the back of a defeat to the third-placed Sydney Thunder.
In my opinion, they’d really have to improved to be a side like the Heat at home.
