Fantasy Tips of the Day
In the last three games at the Adelaide Oval, the top four batters have provided the bulk of the fantasy points.
59% of the wickets fell in the middle overs and only 22% at the death.
Peter Siddle is the highest wicket-taker at the venue. He has bagged 52 wickets in 35 T20s, including a four-for and a five-for.
Adelaide would be delighted with the arrival of Alex Carey and Travis Head. While Carey has two hundreds (one of which came against Heat) and four fifties, Head has scored 808 runs at an average of 31.
Jimmy Peirson may not have had a great season, but he has great numbers against Adelaide. He has scored 298 runs at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 145.
On the other hand, Chris Lynn is in the middle of a stunning form, but an average of 15 in as many games against Adelaide may play on his mind.
Wes Agar likes hunting down the Brisbane batters. In a mere 6 games, he has taken 13 wickets at an economy of just under 8 RPO.
Adelaide have more firepower in their batting, while Brisbane have been struggling in all departments of the game.
