Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 25 of the Big Bash League 2025-26 between STR vs THU to be played in Adelaide.
Sydney Thunder ended the Big Bash League (BBL) 14 as the second-best side, finishing the tournament as runner-up after losing to Hobart Hurricanes. But the BBL 15 has been totally contrasting for them in terms of performance.
After playing six group matches, they are at the bottom of the ladder with only one win. That clearly means one more defeat can be the end of the road for them in the BBL 15. Sydney Thunder will be in action on Tuesday for their next game.
They will face Adelaide Strikers at Adelaide Oval. The Strikers are coming off a defeat against Perth Scorchers. It was their third defeat in five matches. The sword of elimination is hanging on them as well. They are not in a situation of another defeat here and this promises to be an exciting battle.
