The Adelaide Strikers men’s team debuted in the inaugural season of BBL in 2011-12.

After a string of near-misses, the Strikers finally tasted sweet success in the 2017-18 season (BBL07). Under the captaincy of Travis Head, they stormed their way to the BBL final, and a commanding win against the Hobart Hurricanes team sealed their first-ever BBL championship.

However, after their glory in BBL07, Adelaide Strikers team’s form dipped. They struggled in the following seasons, with early exits from the playoffs and questions about their squad’s consistency. Despite these challenges, Adelaide Strikers remain a team to watch in every season. Their ability to bounce back, combined with some of the most exciting young talent in Australian cricket, means they’re never too far from contention.
