There are some natural changes in the squad Adelaide Strikers but they had not changed their leader and Travis Head will be leading the Strikers once again. They don’t have any big names of T20 batsmen but some good all-rounders and some young batsmen who had performed well on a domestic level.

The bowling squad of Adelaide Strikers is stronger than the previous edition. Rashid Khan is the leading bowler of this team with Wes Agar. Rashid khan had been part of the Strikers since some previous seasons and had played the main role in each and every match. It is not easy for any best batsman in the world to score runs easily against Rashid Khan and we are sure that he will also give his best performance in this tournament. He had picked 122 wickets in just 74 T20 Internationals and 112 wickets in 92 IPL matches. Wes Agar is another experienced bowler of the Strikers and can give early breakthroughs, especially in the power play overs.

Daniel Hughes and James Vince will be leading the batting order of the Sixers with Jordan Silk and Kurtis Patterson. Hayden Kerr is also available to handle the middle batting order with the skipper, Moises Henriques while Josh Philippe is the wicket-keeper batsman in their squad.

The 2nd match of Big Bash League 2022-23 is going to be held at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 185 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Adelaide is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
