AS vs PS Match Preview

There is very little chance that either of these teams will make the top four. With 6 points from each of the nine games, their maximum score is 8 points. Other teams, such as BH and MR, are ahead and have a better chance of finishing in fourth place. Nonetheless, this is a must-win game for both teams, as they face off for another time this season. The last time they met, the Perth Scorchers limited the Stirkers to 142 runs before chasing down the target with 7 wickets in hand. Scorchers have struggled with their bats since then. They lost two successive home games immediately following their victory over Adelaide. The majority of their main batters are inconsistent.

Top Picks – Perth Scorchers

• Cooper Connolly –  Cooper Connolly, who played his first match of the season on Saturday, played a knock of 33 runs and looks in form.
• Lance Morris – Lance Morris bowled a brilliant spell in the last match to pick up 3 wickets.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

• Matthew Short – Matthew Short is one of the most consistent batsmen in the Strikers team. He has scored 50+ runs in each of his last two innings.
• Jamie Overton –  Jamie Overton is also quite handy with the bat and can score some quick runs at number 6 for the Strikers.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Matthew Short, Cooper Connolly

Vice-captain – Jason Behrendorff, D Arcy Short

Wicketkeeper – Finn Allen

AS vs PS Probable Winners:

Although PS is playing at home, we don't see much of a home advantage working in their favor. The visitors are in better shape with the bat and are going to have a slight advantage. However, the Perth Scorchers' bowlers appear to be threatening and could pose a tough challenge to the Strikers, resulting in a close contest between the two teams. Adelaide Strikers, because of their batting depth, will be given the advantage in our match prediction. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers is expected to win this match.

AS vs SS Match Preview

Adelaide Strikers will face the Sydney Sixers in their final home game of the season. With only two games remaining during their league stage campaign, the Strikers have to win both to have a chance of making the playoffs. The Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, will compete for the top spot. They appeared to have suddenly lost their way after two consecutive losses, but their most recent victory has put them back on track to win. The Sixers desperately required that comeback with the bat. They will face an in-form Adelaide batting lineup, which recently scored 251 on this spot. Steven Smith's 121 off 64 balls was the highlight of the Sixers' recent victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Topmost Picks for AS vs SS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Sydney Sixers

• Steve Smith –  Steve Smith, who played his first match of the season on Saturday, played a blazing knock of 121 runs and looks in excellent form.
• Sean Abbott – Sean Abbott bowled a brilliant spell in the last match to pick up 4 wickets.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

• Matthew Short – Matthew Short is one of the most consistent batsmen in the Strikers team. He has scored 50+ runs in each of his last two innings.
• Jamie Overton –  Overton has done well with the ball though, picking up 9 wickets.

AS vs SS Probable Winners:

Though the Adelaide Strikers won the last time they played here and it is their home ground, we believe they will not have a significant advantage in this match. Their bowlers are unreliable, and the opposition has a strong batting order with several big hitters. The Sixers still have some batting issues to work out, but they will have a slight advantage in our match prediction and will start as favorites to win. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.

AS vs BH Match Preview

We've reached the most critical point in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The standings table is taking shape, and the Adelaide Strikers will be fighting for their survival when they face the Brisbane Heat in the 31st game. The Strikers lost their most recent game to the Hobart Hurricanes and are currently struggling for form. The Brisbane Heat won their last game against the Sydney Thunder, and they will be confident. The Adelaide Strikers endured a disappointing season, losing five out of seven games. The captain is injured, which does not help their cause. The Brisbane Heat have won the last three of four games against the Strikers, which boosts their confidence.

AS vs BH Probable Winners:

The Adelaide Strikers cannot afford to lose this game, and they will be under a lot of pressure going into it. Their striking lineup has struggled, but the team expects a strong performance from the top order. The Brisbane Heat have a good record with the Strikers and an excellent batting lineup, which gives them an advantage. Considering the team combination, Brisbane Heat is expected to win this match.

AS vs HH Match Preview

Ahead of Saturday's match, their are only two points separating Perth Scorchers in third spot and Adelaide Strikers in seventh, so while Hobart Hurricanes have a three-point advantage in the table, the roles could easily be reversed quickly! The Hobart Hurricanes have an advantage at home in this game at the Bellerive Oval, but they are the only team to have won a game at home since the beginning of 2025, with the other three won by visitors and one ending in a no-result. The no-result meant that table tops Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat did not even get to the toss in Coffs Harbour, but it has caused the table to close even more, as the Sixers have now lost their last two games.

In their last five meetings with the Hobart Hurricanes, the Adelaide Strikers have lost only one game. That gives us a psychological advantage in this match. The Strikers might have had a shaky start to the season, but they have a solid and balanced team and will play at home. While the Hurricanes can surprise anyone on their day, history and current performances point to the Strikers having the advantage in this matchup. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers is expected to win this match.

BH vs AS Match Preview

We had some good games in the first week of the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Brisbane Heat will begin the second week with a home opener against the Adelaide Strikers in the ninth match. Both squads will be confident after winning their previous games. The Brisbane Heat annihilated the Melbourne Stars, while the Adelaide Strikers won the same match. The Brisbane Heat have dominated the Adelaide Strikers in recent seasons, winning three straight against them. The team plays that home and the fans will root for them. The Adelaide Strikers have not looked persuasive in either game.

ST vs AS Probable Winners:

Last season, the Sydney Thunder struggled to get started, winning only one game and completing eighth on the table. They encountered the Adelaide Strikers multiple times and were outplayed both times, with Adelaide completing the double over them. In fact, the Thunder have not defeated the Strikers over their last five meetings. In contrast, the Adelaide Strikers enjoyed a slow start this year but eventually found their groove, winning four straight games to secure a playoff spot. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers is expected to win this match.
