Team overview
Adelaide Strikers at a glance
Adelaide Strikers are South Australia's men's Big Bash League team. The side began in BBL|01 in 2011/12 and won its first and so far only men's championship in BBL|07, beating Hobart Hurricanes in the final at Adelaide Oval.
The Strikers finished BBL|15 in sixth place with four wins and six losses. Liam Scott led the batting with 310 runs and added five wickets, while Lloyd Pope led the bowling with 15 wickets from ten matches.
BBL|16 starts with two away matches before the first Adelaide Oval game on 23 December 2026. Adelaide Strikers Women share the club identity and venue but are a separate WBBL team, so their squad, titles and statistics are not mixed into this men's record.
