About the Adelaide Strikers
The Adelaide Strikers came from the clouds in 2017/18 to win their first T20 Big Bash League title. They haven’t quite reached those heights again since, but big things are expected of new coach Tim Paine’s team.
The Strikers are $7 chances to win the BBL14 competition, after being knocked out in the Challenger by the Brisbane Heat, who went on to win the tournament, last seasoin. After drafting the English Test cricket vice-captain and top order batter Ollie Pope alongside West Indian white-ball specialist Fabian Allen to an already stacked side, the franchise will be hoping to add their second title to the trophy cabinet, having beaten the Hobart Hurricanes to win BBL07.

Adelaide Strikers players to watch
Ollie Pope
English batter Ollie Pope is arguably the biggest new name drafted into the BBL this season. Although he is better known for his batting ability in long-form cricket, he has experienced Australian conditions and will bring the ‘BazBall’ mentality to Adelaide in the hopes of taking the team one step closer another trophy.
Jamie Overton
Last season was Jamie Overton’s first in the BBL and he was incredibly impressive for the Strikers. He took 16 wickets, striking at above two overs per wicket with an economy of eight runs per over. He only batted six times in the season but finished not out on four occasions, with a strike rate of almost 140 and a highest score of 31.
Cameron Boyce
Veteran spinner Cameron Boyce also had a brilliant season for the franchise last summer, taking 14 wickets at just over a run a ball in 11 innings. He will likely be the front line spinner again this season as Lloyd Pope continues to develop. If Boyce can tie down opposition batters in the middle overs of matches, he will help his side win a lot of matches this summer.
Adelaide Strikers betting futures & tips
The Strikers are one of the better value plays in the BBL14 outright betting at $7, given they have added incredible talent to an already stacked side. The franchise will be determined to take the next step in their progression and ascend to the BBL final this year under new head coach Tim Paine. Their only weakness coming into this season is a lack of serious strike power in their bowling.
Top batsman odds
Matt Short will likely open the batting again for the Strikers this season, which will again give him plenty of opportunity to lead his franchise in scoring. He’s developed an incredible array of shots, both in front of and behind square, making him a nightmare to bowl to.
Top bowler betting
Henry Thornton is a great value bet to be the Strikers’ top wicket-taker this season as he continues to improve as a limited-overs fast bowler. Although he struggled last summer, his BBL12 season of 16 wickets showed he can lead the Adelaide bowling attack and strike early for his side.
All-time Adelaide Strikers XI
- Jake Weatherald
- Travis Head
- Matt Short
- Brad Hodge
- Jonathon Wells
- Alex Carey
- Kieran Pollard
- Rashid Khan
- Peter Siddle
- Ben Laughlin
- Wes Agar
The all-time Strikers XI would be one of the best XI’s in the history of the BBL. Jake Weatherald is the Strikers’ all-time leading runscorer; Travis Head, Matt Short and Brad Hodge are all capable of scoring 50-ball hundreds; and Alex Carey and Kieran Pollard are dangerous lower-order hitters.
Afghani spinner Rashid Khan leads a bowling attack with incredibly skilled seam bowlers Peter Siddle and Ben Laughlin; Wes Agar has the pace and bounce that contrast his teammates perfectly; and Pollard is a combination of all three with the ball in hand.
