Match Preview for Dream11 Fantasy:

We are slowly moving to the business end of the 2019-20 edition of the Big Bash League and Tuesday’s encounter between Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers promises to be a mouth-watering one as both sides’ aim to address their fledgeling campaign.

Brisbane Heat, who have four and lost as many fixtures in their first eight games, will be looking to bounce back after enduring a 34-run defeat at the hands of Perth Scorchers in their previous fixture. While Tom Banton will no longer be available, the Heat will be bolstered with the addition of Mr 360° AB de Villiers, who will be making his BBL debut on Tuesday and Afghan teenage sensation Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

They’ll face Adelaide Strikers, who come into this game after having successfully wrecked their three-match losing streak with a comprehensive 63-run win at the expense of defending champions Melbourne Renegades and will look to emulate the same when they lock horns with Brisbane Heat on Tuesday.
