After a five-day break owing to the Australia vs Pakistan Perth Test, the Big Bash League (BBL) 2023-24 will return with Match No. 8 on Tuesday. Adelaide Strikers (STR) will take on Sydney Thunder (THU) in Adelaide. Strikers had to share a point apiece with Brisbane Heat as their first match of the tournament was abandoned without a toss due to persistent rain. On the other hand, Thunder lost their opening match against the same opposition by 20 runs. Hence, both the teams will be aiming to get their first win and we are in for an exciting match.
