Preview

Sydney Thunder will take on Adelaide Strikers in the third match of the Big Bash League 2024/25. This match will be played at Manuka Oval in Canberra. Sydney Thunder will be led by David Warner who will be available for the entire season for the first time in many years. Sydney Thunder had a horrible campaign last time around where they won just 1 out of 7 matches and were bottom of the table. They have made some good draft picks and will be keen to have a better season. On the other hand, Adelaide Strikers will be led by Matthew Short. Adelaide Strikers are one of the most consistent sides and finished fourth in the previous edition. Strikers will miss Head and Carey's services in the early stages of the competition. This promises to be a thriller between these two sides.
