The only side to yet play a match in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League, when Adelaide Strikers step out to open their sojourn today, the side know they have been thrust into an extremely formidable encounter. They couldn’t have asked for a more tricky encounter to throw open their sortie in the league with the outfit being asked to square off against the league leaders today.
Currently sitting in the annuls of the points tally, for Sydney Thunder, the opening exchanges of the league have transpired in more pristine fashion than the side could have ever augured. They have gone onto win both their encounters on the bounce with their previous win coming by 6 wickets against 6 wickets as they chased down the 170 run target set by Melbourne Renegades.
