Key players of Adelaide Strikers

Adelaide Strikers 2021-2022 squad to watch out for -
Out of the eight teams competing in the BBL 2022, Adelaide Strikers, the time-two winner, is one of the strongest teams. However, after immense practice and trials, Adelaide Strikers lost the BBL 2021-2022 and were Knocked out in the Challenger against Sixers. Although it made its position in the top five list, which made their fans feel proud, the result was in favour of the Sixers.

Conclusion

Big Bash League, 2021-2022, is a much-awaited match by fans. Adelaide Strikers performing in the Big Bash League was another view fans were waiting for. Like always, matches played by them were an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Competition in the Big Bash League among eight different teams is such that it is often tough to separate two teams. However, the winner is always one, and in the session 2021-2022, it was not Adelaide Strikers.
