Preview

Adelaide Strikers (STR) will be up against Brisbane Heat (HEA) in the 31st match of the BBL 2025. This match will be played at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Brisbane Heat currently sit in fourth spot on a crowded BBL table, with two more regular season matches following tomorrow's match. Adelaide Strikers on the other hand, are bottom of the table with just two wins in seven matches.

Brisbane Heat have named a 13-player squad, with Daniel Drew coming back into the lineup, while English signing Paul Walter and all-rounder Jack Wildermuth dropped out of the squad for this game. Walter has been recovering from a minor shoulder injury and is expected to be available for selection for next week’s Gabba home game against the Hobart Hurricanes on Thursday. Brisbane Heat won the previous match by five wickets.

Alex Carey returns to the Adelaide Strikers side after the Test duties and rest of the squad is pretty much the same and they have named captain Matt Short in the squad and he is expected to be fully fit. Adelaide lost their previous match against Hobart by five wickets. Both these teams have plenty of quality players and this promises to be a thrilling match between these two sides.
