Strikers win BBL toss, bat first v Thunder

The Adelaide Strikers have received the toss and can bat first of their BBL conflict with the Sydney Thunder at Sydney Showground Stadium.

Both sides named unchanged line-ups to those that secured opening-round victories earlier within the week.

The sport is the Thunder’s first at their Homebush base this summer season and comes after their last-gasp win over the Melbourne Stars in Canberra on Tuesday.

The Strikers made a press release on Wednesday evening by comfortably defeating final season’s finalists Sydney Sixers at Adelaide Oval.

Chris Lynn is aiming to proceed his bought begin to life as a Striker after managing 41 runs in his first outing of the summer season.

Thunder quicks Daniel Sams, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Gurinder Sandhu will hope their good kind on the Manuka Oval deck can translate into wickets in Homebush.
