As of present, they are placed at the second spot with five wins in seven games and a victory in Adelaide will place them at the apex.
Meanwhile, Alex Carey-led Adelaide Strikers would look to avoid a defeat amidst their home conditions and put a break to their losing spree in the ongoing T20 season.

Pacer Josh Hazlewood (1/18) marked his presence with economical exhibitions in the previous outing against Strikers and with fellow pacer Ben Dwarshuis (8 wickets in 7 innings) will look to dominate in their early spells.
