Thunder made a great start by putting a 200 on board where Strikers' bowling looked off-color and every bowler went for runs except Jamie Overton who was economical in his spell. Later, both openers D’Arcy Short and Matt Short made a fiery start to their innings and smacked boundaries all around the park. They did well in the end winning the match in the last over.

Strikers looks like a solid team in this year’s BBL and it will interesting to see how things pan out for them in KFC Big Bash League 2023-24.
