STR vs HEA: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

Shaheen Afridi will not be available for Brisbane Heat, but he hasn’t done anything extraordinary this season. Hence, the Heat can manage his place. Batting-wise, Adelaide Strikers are struggling, and their batters are unable to contribute. That is why we back Brisbane Heat to win, as their top order is performing better than that of the Strikers.
