The record
Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League
The Strikers are the Adelaide Oval side in the truest sense: 76 of their 154 matches have been played there, more home cricket than any other club in the competition has had at one ground, and they have won 42 of them. Their 2017-18 title came out of that base, and their highest total of 251 is the second biggest score any BBL club has posted.
Overall it reads 73 wins and 78 losses, 47.4%, which is mid-table and about right. J Weatherald is the leading run scorer with 2,176, while the bowling has been carried by the overseas leg-spin of Rashid Khan: 98 wickets at 6.44 an over, the best economy rate of any of their leading wicket takers. Perth Scorchers are the most frequent opponent and hold a 15-11 advantage; Sydney Sixers have been the harder assignment still, at 14-7.
