The Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers will face off in Match 37 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League on Sunday evening at the Manuka Oval. Thunder has only won one game this season and is in seventh place with three points. Adelaide Strikers are currently fourth with nine points. Sydney Thunder lost by 19 runs on Friday, dropping six of their seven completed games this season. The return of David Warner gives the team a boost, but it will be a difficult match against a strong Adelaide team. Adelaide Strikers were soundly defeated by the Perth Scorchers on January 3rd, but have since gone on a winning streak. They have a core group of bat and ball players who are consistently performing, and they will go to Canberra expecting to win again.

Adelaide Strikers are in fourth place, but the teams around them have games in hand, so they must win to have the best chance of progressing to the next round. This is their final group-stage match, and they’ve been unstoppable in recent matches. With David Warner in the lineup, the Sydney Thunder were a stronger team than the Sydney Sixers, but we expect the Adelaide Strikers to win again. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers is expected to win this match.
