Predicition News:
TM Head is the best batsmen who scored 276 runs from this BBL 2015/16 and he is the top scorer from Strikers. TP Ludeman 254 runs, BJ Hodge 230 runs and DPMD Jayawardene 184 runs, that means Strikers have lot of talent of batsmen. From the other side Thunder MEK Hussey scored 277 runs, SR Watson 222, UT Khawaja 171 and AD Russell 175. From the bowling result AU Rashid is top wicket taker from Strikers, he took 15 wickets in eight matches, B Laughlin 11 and MG Neser 7. From Thunder CJ McKay took 14 wickets, AD Russell took 14 too and Fawad Ahmed took six. Now we can’t predict this match accurately because in 11th match from this tournament Sydney Thunder won by 7 wickets (with 21 balls remaining) from Strikers at 28 Dec 2015. In that match Adelaide Strikers won the toss and decided to bat first and scored 117 runs with fall of nine wickets in 20 overs and thunder achieved that target in 16.3 overs with fall of three wickets. That mean Strikers batsmen cannot play Thunder bowlers easily.

Michael Hussey - With proven match-winners throughout the Thunder’s side in Russell, Kallis, Khawaja and Watson narrowing it down to just one player is a difficult choice, but the one with the most on the line - and in perhaps the best form out of all of them - is Mr Cricket himself.
Coming off a quick-fire 41 run knock from just 29 deliveries in the Sydney Smash, the former Test star showed why he’s one of the all-time greats, finishing what will be his final Big Bash season as the competition's second-leading run scorer behind only Heat skipper Chris Lynn.
A proven competitor that’s led the Thunder through two tough seasons in BBL|03 and BBL|04, Hussey will be eager to add a Big Bash title to his incredible resume. Claiming his wicket cheaply would be a huge blow to the Thunder’s chances of advancing to the Big Final.
Michael Neser - He’s managed to escape much of the limelight to this point of the competition, but Strikers all-rounder Michael Neser has been in very good touch in his previous two outings.
Claiming figures of 3/26 against the Hurricanes and 2/15 against the Renegades, it’s been Neser who has stood up in the absence of spearhead quicks Kane Richardson and Billy Stanlake to claim the big wickets at the top of the order in recent times.
A dependable batting and bowling option as well as a supremely athletic fieldsman, Neser is one of only a few players in the league capable of making an impact on the game at any given moment.
Watch for the former Strikers’ MVP to continue his good form into tomorrow night’s semi.
