Adelaide Strikers have continued their dominance in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 with a comfortable 🐻six-wicket win against Sydney Thunder on Tuesday. This was theꦫ Strikers’ third consecutive win, and they are sitting right at the top of the points table.

Chasing 151, the Strikers got off to a terrible start losing their opener Jake Weatherald (7), when the team’s score read 9 in 2.1 overs. Before the Thunder could add more pressure, Matthew Short inspi♚red the Strikers’ comeback with a remarkable batting display.

Short kept the scoreboard ticking and found boundaries to ensure the run-rate stayed within Strikers’ reach. He added 83 runs for the second wicket with Chris Lynn before the latter was cleaned up by Nathan McAndrew for 28.

Short, meanwhile, smashed a brilliant half-century and was looking to take his team over the finish line with ease, but McAndrew once again came to rescue the Thunders and got rid of Short for a well-made 65 from 44 deliveries, including three fours and five sixes. Eventually, Adam Hose took the team over the f🐽ini𒉰sh line with his unbeaten 28-run knock.

Earlier, the Thunder, after opting to bat first, posted 150/5 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to a scintillating knock by opener Alex Hales. The English cricketer went on to smash 68 from 50 deliveries, with the help of six fours and ❀th🅠ree sixes.

Hales formed a brilliant partnership of 63 runs for the third wicket Oliver Davies before Colin de Grabdhomme broke the stand by dismissing Hales. Davies scored a crucial 42-run knock from just 30 balls, including two fours and a maximum. For Strikers, De Grandhomme (2/27) and Henry Thornton (2/18) picked up two wickets each.

Love what Dizzy Gillespie and the team h🦋ave done.
Hose looks a💞 smart recruit, CDG doing a job and 2-3 bo♈wlers standing up every game.
Strong side with Carey and Head to return too.

Alex✃ Ha🔜les averaged 48.33 at Adelaide Oval in T20 cricket going into this match.
It’s his best average for any ground he has playedౠ 10 or more matches.
