Watch Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat BBL live and free
The Heat were far too strong for the Strikers earlier this week at the Gabba. Can the South Australians hit back at home?
Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat is a chance for the home side to bounce back hard at Adelaide Oval. They will be familiar with each other as they just met on 14 January. That day, the Heat rolled Adelaide for just 110 all out and barely raised a sweat chasing that total down with 7 wickets in hand.
The Strikers at least didn't have to wait long for a shot at redemption. This match is exclusive to Fox Cricket, as it is among the 16 games Channel 7 opted not to show on free-to-air television. You also can't stream the game on 7Plus. Here are the ways you can tune in.

History of Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat
These teams have met a relatively slim nine times to date. Brisbane's victory earlier this week gave them a slight edge, 5-4 overall. No team has won more than two games in a row, in a tight clash between the two sides historically.
Who will win Adelaide Strikers vs Brisbane Heat?
Jake Weatherald and Jonathan Wells have been among the most prolific run scorers so far in BBL|09. But neither of them or Travis Head had an impact earlier this week at the Gabba. Test quick James Pattinson proved the chief destroyer, taking an impressive 5-33 from his 4 overs.
In reply to Adelaide's 110, Brisbane could even handle a first-ball duck to opener Chris Lynn as Matthew Renshaw and South African superstar AB de Villiers on debut did most of the damage in a cruisy run chase.
Adelaide will be stinging from the nature of that defeat. Considering they sit just one point behind Brisbane in the battle for fourth place, we expect the Strikers to hit back hard at home.
