THU vs STR Dream11 Team Prediction & Preview: 6th Match, BBL 2019-2020

Sydney Thunders will take on Adelaide Strikers in the 6th match of Big Bash League 2019-20 at Manuka Oval in Canberra. We will provide THU vs STR Dream11 Prediction, Match Preview, and Probable Playing XI.

Sydney Thunder:

Thunder is having a great time this season. They have won both the matches that they have played and have performed exceptionally well. In the previous match bowling first, Sydney Thunder bowlers gave away too many runs and the opposition scored more than 50 runs in just 5 overs. But they adjusted their line and lengths and started picking up wickets and restricted the opposition to a total of 169 runs. Daniel Sams and Arjun Nair picked 2 wickets each and McAndrew picked one wicket.

The way Sydney Thunder openers batted was extremely good. Usman Khawaja and Alex Hales put up 99 runs for the 1st wicket by scoring 66 and 68 runs respectively. After that, it was easy for the other batsman to come and win the game for Sydney Thunder. They would want to continue their winning moment against Adelaide Strikers in this match.

Adelaide Strikers:

Striker’s journey in previous seasons is very strange. They have either played very well or they have not been qualified for playoffs and finished the season at bottom 2 in the points table. They have qualified for playoffs 3 out of 8 seasons and have won the title once. Last season they did not perform well and finished 7th position on the points table.

Wicketkeeper-Batsman Alex Carey will be leading the side in the absence of Travis Head. Batsmen like Jonathan Wells, Philip Salt, Cameron White, and the spin sensation Rashid Khan and Bowler like Peter Siddle will be crucial for Adelaide strikers this season.

Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Striker have played 11 matches and Sydney Thunder have won 4, Strikers won 6 and one match ended in no result.
