Adelaide Strikers<\/strong> started their Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 campaign in grand style, defeating Sydney Sixers in their first match<\/a> by 51 runs at their home ground on Wednesday, December 14.<\/p>\n

Batting first, Strikers posted a massive 184\/6 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to a sensational knock by opener Matthew Short<\/strong>. The right-handed batter smashed a brilliant 84 off just 53 deliveries with the help of 11 fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n

Apart from Short, veteran Chris Lynn<\/strong> and Englishman Adam Hose<\/strong> also chipped in with valuable contributions of 41 and 40, respectively. For the Sixers, Sean Abbott<\/strong>, as usual, shined with the ball, taking a three-wicket haul while conceding 37 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Similarly, Izharulhaq Naveed<\/strong>, the mystery sensation from Afghanistan, picked up a couple of scalps for 25 in 4 overs.<\/p>\n

In response, the Sixers never really got the momentum they would have anticipated as the Moises Henriques-led could only reach 133\/7, losing the contest by 51 runs. Jordan Silk, with 36 off 25 balls, was their top-scorer in the match.<\/p>\n

Henry Thornton<\/strong> and Rashid Khan<\/strong> were the pick of the bowlers for the Strikers. While Thomton grabbed four wickets for 20 in his quota of 4 overs, Rashid bagged a three-wicket haul while giving away 21 runs in 4 overs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to get a win on the board early, we wanted to get a good start in the batting PP, and that helped us settle later on. It was a complete performance, in the end, we were good in all three facets of the game,\u201d<\/em> said Short after the game.<\/p>\n
