Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers | Odds that will change your Weekend

The Eliminator of the Big Bash League 2020-2021 will see Brisbane Heat locking horns with Adelaide Strikers at the Gabba in Brisbane on Friday afternoon, January 29.

We are now at the business end of the tournament and five teams have made it to the knockout stage of the Big Bash League 2020-21 edition. Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers are the fourth and fifth placed teams on the points table and thus they get to play the eliminator. The winner of this fixture will play the knockout game against the third placed Sydney Thunder. It's still quite a road for these two sides till the final as they will have tough opponents to battle with. However, the Strikers will be considering themselves to be lucky as they sneaked into the playoff stages, courtesy of a positive net run rate, which was marginally better than Hobart Hurricanes. We are in for a thrilling encounter here at the Wooloongabba on Friday afternoon as two teams have nothing to lose from here! In the meantime, take a look at three of the best player bets from this game which is going to reverse your fortunes for good this coming weekend.

Chris Lynn to be the top team batsman for Brisbane Heat

I was thinking, since we are at the gate of the knockout stage, why don't we raise the stakes a bit but with logic of course! I won't be randomly coming at you with a proposition which won't last right? So here it goes - Chris Lynn has been the best batsman for Brisbane Heat and there should not be any doubt about it. He is the highest run getter for his side and is the third highest run scorer for the ongoing season of the Big Bash League with 420 runs in just 10 matches at an average of 42.00. Imagine if he would have played all those 14 games! The hard-hitting opener has four half centuries in his last 6 innings and his scores in those innings read as these - 51, 52, 17, 27, 50, and 56. He has played 38 T20 games at this venue and has racked up 1123 runs at an average of just above 36.0. In 203 T20 games in his career, the Brisbane Heat skipper has scored over 5600 runs at an average of 32.49 including 2 centuries and 39 fifties (five of which came in this season in just 10 matches). This is not even a gamble as the numbers are speaking for Lynny and therefore you should head over to the sportsbet.io website, who are offering the best odds of 3.10 and place your bets!

Alex Carey to score over 24.5 runs

What a season Alex Carey has been having with the bat and he has had a major role to play in propelling his side into the knockout stages of the Big Bash League. Carey is obviously the highest run scorer for his side and is the fourth highest run scorer of the ongoing season of the Big Bash League with 412 runs against his name at an average of 34.33 including one unbelievable century and two half tons. That scintillating ton came against Brisbane Heat in the last game, which was played at the Adelaide Oval. He has played four matches against Brisbane Heat and has scored 197 runs at an average of almost 50.0. In 91 T20 matches in his career, the wicketkeeper-batsman has scored 2068 runs at an average of 30.41. He has played 47 matches in the Big Bash League and has notched up 1596 runs at an average of 33.95. Sportsbet.io is at it again as they have offered odds of 1.85 for Alex Carey to score over 24.5 runs in the Eliminator against Brisbane Heat on Friday!

Jake Weatherald to score over 21.5 runs

The second-in-command with the bat for Adelaide Strikers, Jake Weatherald is not far behind Alex Carey when it comes to numbers in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. The seasoned T20 campaigner is the second highest run scorer for Adelaide Strikers and is the seventh highest run getter of the season with 401 runs at an average of 36.45. The 26-year-old batsman has been consistent which has been the key to his success yet again in this season. Weatherald scored 407 runs in the previous season of the Big Bash League as well at an average of 29.07. He has featured in 8 matches against Brisbane Heat and has scored 166 runs at an average of 23.71. The last time he faced the Heat, he ended up playing a blistering knock of 36 runs from just 18 balls. With all the numbers favouring Weatherald, it is but obvious that this Adelaide Strikers batsman is going to score more than 21.5 runs on Friday and therefore, Sportsbet.io has offered generous odds of 1.85 yet again!
