This game is like a quarterfinal for both of these teams. I like the Strikers’ balance and I reckon their South African captain Botha is a natural leader who understands T20 cricket better than most. They need to play Tate and prevent Marsh and Gibbs from getting away to a flyer, but all in all, they have the team to win here. They will also play in front of a sellout home crowd in Adelaide so the atmosphere will be electric. It’s going to be a great game but I reckon the home team will storm into the finals.
