HEA vs STR Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Big Bash League T20 match Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers, 23 December

HEA vs STR Dream11 Team Prediction: The Gabba will host a BBL game for the first time this season where Brisbane Heat will be facing Adelaide Strikers in the 13th match. Brisbane Heat haven’t started the season well. Despite being in winning positions for a no. of times, they have failed to capitalize. The way they surrendered from being in a winning position against the Thunder will raise some questions in their dressing room. The batting has some great talent in the form of young Max Bryant and Dan Lawrence. Skipper Chris Lynn’s form in the last game will boost the team’s confidence. Jack Wildermuth had a fantastic game in a losing cause but his allround performance will be a shining light. Experienced bowler Ben Laughlin went for plenty in the last game and will need to bring all his experience here.

Adelaide Strikers though, haven’t had a great start to the season as well. They won their second game after losing the first one but then lost the last one comprehensively. Weatherald has shown good form with the bat but Matt Renshaw needs to step up to lay a solid foundation. With Carey and Jon Wells, the middle order looks in good hands but they lack a big hitter lower down the order. Rashid Khan will lead the bowling attack with experienced Peter Siddle in good form. Expect Strikers to come hard in this game.

HEA vs STR Today Match Prediction: Who will win HEA vs STR Dream11 match today?
The Strikers have won one game out of three whereas Heat has lost both the games so far. Despite being in winning position for most of the last game, Heat lost the game which might have dented their confidence a bit. Strikers though, have problems of their own. After a big loss in the last game against Sixers, they have lost their skipper Alex Carey for this game which will certainly affect their middle order. Despite being winless, Brisbane Heat look favorites to win the contest especially when they are playing at their home ground. Expect lots of runs in the HEA vs STR Today Match Prediction.
