Probable top performers

Jake Weatherald- Adelaide Strikers

Jake Weatherald was the leading run-scorer for the Strikers in the previous edition of the BBL. In the ongoing season, he started on a handsome note, but couldn’t carry on. In the game against the Renegades, he hit two fours in his 17-ball 18 before Zahir Khan Pakteen accounted for his wicket. The southpaw will be looking to put on a better showing next time around.

Daniel Worrall- Adelaide Strikers

Daniel Worrall has been an effective bowler for the Strikers over the time period. Even in the previous game against the Renegades, the pacer showed his usefulness. Worrall picked up two wickets and gave away only 26 runs. He got the crucial wickets of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Mohammad Nabi.
