Sydney Thunder will cross swords with Adelaide Strikers in the Knockout match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2021-22 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, January 23. Sydney Thunder won their last game against the Melbourne Renegades by the barest of margins to give themselves a chance to compete in the Knockout. Thunder will be heading into this game with a psychological edge over the Strikers as they had defeated the Strikers on both occasions during the group stage.

Usman Khawaja's addition to the side has worked wonders for them, and he would like to make the most of his terrific batting form. He is fresh from a match-winning half-century which he scored against the Renegades in the last match. Thunder have some quality players in their squad that can make the difference in the Knockout. All-rounder Daniel Sams will be the player to watch out for in this game.

On the other hand, the Strikers have been emboldened by the additions of Alex Carey and Travis Head. Both players provide more depth to the Strikers' batting line-up, which looked susceptible before their inclusion. All-rounder Matthew Short is having a fantastic tournament and is looking in ominous touch, especially with the bat in hand. He will be one of the most valuable picks for this game.
