The 9th match of the Big Bash League will turn out to be a clash of the giants as Brisbane Heat are set to lock horns against Adelaide Strikers at one of the most prominent cathedrals of the sport-The Gabba. This will be the second game of the ongoing BBL season for the home side after they triumphed over Melbourne Stars on their home turf to win the opening game of the season.
The Adelaide Strikers, on the other hand, slipped up a bit after getting a defeat in their first game against Sydney Thunderby a narrow margin. However, the South Australian side made a comeback in their next game against Stars. Both sides will look forward to continue their winning momentum.
