HEA vs STR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 13 | BH vs AS Dream11 Prediction Today | Gabba Pitch Report

Here we go. Chris Lynn returns to the Gabba for the first time since leaving Brisbane Heat, as Adelaide Strikers look to continue their brilliant run of form.

It will take some adjusting to see Lynn, the face of the BBL for so many years in Heat colours, walk out in Brisbane with the opposition, but it certainly adds to the occasion. Can the Heat get the better of their favourite son or will Adelaide’s newest number three come out on top?

This is one of many questions for the Heat to contend with. The Strikers have been outstanding since the second half of last season, with Matt Short and their pace attack performing wonders so far in BBL 12, even rolling a team for 15. On a Gabba pitch that had plenty of juice for the quicks in last week’s two-day Test, here lies an opportunity for the Adelaide quicks, as well as Brisbane’s, to make inroads.
