Sydney Thunder will clash with Adelaide Strikers in Match 5 of the Big Bash League 2022 on Friday at Sydney Showground Stadium. 

In their last outing, Thunder secured a thrilling one-wicket victory over Melbourne Stars in a chase of 123. The likes of Gurinder Sandhu and Fazalhaq Farooqi were the key performers for them. However, they would look to be potent enough with their performances against strong opposition. 

Strikers, on the other hand, managed to post a quality total of 184 on the board and win the game by 51 runs against Sydney Sixers. The best performers for the team were Matthew Short, Henry Thornton and Rashid Khan. 

It will be interesting to see which team continues their winning momentum in the tournament.
