Welcome to our Adelaide Strikers v Brisbane Heat betting tips, winner prediction and odds analysis for Game 46 of the 2020-21 Big Bash League at Adelaide Oval on Thursday, January 21.

But on the flip side a win for either team will thrust them right back into the mix and both teams are not surprisingly trying to rush their Australian Test stars back into action for this match.

The Strikers are expected to regain star batsman Travis Head and paceman/all-rounder Michael Neser for this match, while the Heat are racing against time to include ace batsman Marnus Labuschagne and leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson.

The inclusion of Head could be particularly timely for the Strikers, who rolled for a pathetic 68 in their most recent match against the Stars at the MCG.

It’s worth checking the teams at the latest possible point because players of that quality could make all the difference.

Strikers v Heat betting tips

Our cricket tipsters have examined the odds and found several Strikers v Heat tips for Thursday’s BBL clash.

Alex Carey man of the match

The Strikers keeper and star batsman should appreciate having Head back in the team to take a little of the pressure off him. He is also due for a big one with the bat.

Mitch Swepson most wickets for Heat

The leggie is a high-class bowler and if he gets the chance to play here he should be ideally suited. The Heat really lost a cutting edge from their attack with mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman departing to play for the Afghan national team but Swepson is also a constant threat.


Strikers v Heat prediction 21/1/2021

It’s all on the line here for both teams and a lot will hinge on what teams make it on to the park. For example the Striker are sweating on the return of Peter Siddle, who suffered a fractured thumb on his non-bowling hand. This should be a tight one but the home advantage is important for the Strikers and they should have a couple of fresh players in Head and Neser just busting to play. Our final Strikers v Heat prediction: Strikers to win.
