The likes of Travis Head and Keiron Pollard are yet to fired up especially the team has disappointed from the performance of Travis Head.
However, Ben Dunk has been in the form of his life, and the fortune of his team will depend on him.
The bowling of this team will be lead by the pace trio of Kane Richardson, Michael Neser, and Chris Jordan. Keiron Pollard can be used as the fourth bowler with his useful medium pace bowlers.
Liam O’Connor will spin the white cherry for the team, and he has the task to contain the run rate for his team.
An attacking brand of cricket is what Adelaide Strikers needs to win this match.
