Adelaide Strikers Playing XI vs Brisbane Heat – BBL 2025-26, Match 13
Openers: Matthew Short (captain), Chris Lynn
Adelaide Strikers, who are coming into the match against Brisbane Heat after a six-wicket defeat against Melbourne Stars, will look to put in a strong performance with bat, ball and in the field in this particular match.
The 2017 BB champions will be counting on their batsmen to perform well, which was not the case in the previous match as most of the batsmen failed to get going.
The only shining light in the batting department in the last match against the Stars was team captain Matthew Short, who scored a crucial half-century while batting first and led his team to a respectable score.
Short would like to continue his good performance in the next match and will expect important contributions from other batsmen as well.
Short’s opening partner, Chris Lynn, who has a reputation for being aggressive while batting at the top of the order, will hope to play with his natural aggressive style and put the opposition bowlers under pressure.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Jason Sangha, Liam Scott, Alex Ross, Jamie Overton, Harry Neilson (wicketkeeper).
After the openers, there will be a middle-order, which though does not have big names, but consists of young players who lend their hand when needed.
The middle order of the Strikers includes young batsmen like Jason Sangha and Liam Scott, both of whom have the ability to play match-winning innings for the team and will look to do the same against the Heat.
The pair will be supported by Alex Ross, who provides the much-needed stability while batting in the middle order.
The Strikers’ batsmen will have the option of adopting an aggressive approach, considering the fact that they bat deep.
Having said that, the responsibility of scoring most of the runs for the team will be on the top five batsmen and it will not be left to the lower batsmen to get the job done.
Bowlers: Jervis Wadia, Hasan Ali, Henry Thornton, Lloyd Pope
As far as the Strikers’ bowling lineup is concerned, it has bowlers like Jamie Overton and Hasan Ali who bring a lot of experience with them and will look to put it to good use.
The duo will be supported by Jervis Wadia, Henry Thornton and Lloyd Pope, while Matthew Short will be the other bowling option.
The responsibility of the fast bowling department of the visiting team will be on Hasan Ali, Henry Thornton and Jamie Overton, who will try to take wickets at regular intervals.
The spin bowling department of Adelaide Strikers will be handled by Lloyd Pope and Jervis Wadia with the assistance of team captain Matthew Short.
