THU vs STR Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the knockout of the Big Bash League T20, 2021 where Sydney Thunder takes on Adelaide Strikers. Thunder had a very good campaign as they finished third in the table and directly qualified for the knocout match while Strikers who finished fifth had to get past Hurricanes and they diid it emphatically. In the Eliminator, a must-win match between the fourth- and fifth-ranked teams, Carey smashed 67 off 45 balls in his comeback Adelaide Strikers ended Hobart Hurricanes’ season to start the finals with a 22-run victory at a barren MCG. Adelaide Strikers have stormed into unlikely title contention after their fifth straight win but they will be up against a red hot Sydney Thunders in this match. The winner of this match will face Sydney Sixers in the Challenger.
