Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers live stream — watch Big Bash League Challenger 2024

Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers at Carrara Stadium will decide who plays Sydney Sixers in the BBL 13 Final on Wednesday. A record-breaking innings from opener Josh Brown has powered the Heat to 214-7. Brown hit a BBL record 12 sixes in his 140 of 57 balls. Brown dominated the innings – only one other man got into double figures – and when he was out, to make it 192-3 after 16.3 overs, the innings fell away as Strikers fought back well.

It is a good batting pitch, but this will be a tough challenge. If Heat can get Matt Short cheaply they will feel confident. Follow our guide below for where to watch Big Bash League live streams from anywhere — and potentially for FREE.

The sides come into the match with contrasting form. Just over two weeks ago the Strikers were bottom of the league, but a run of victories took them into fourth place. Having won the Knockout match, a win today would equal their longest winning run in the history of the competition.

The Heat, however, have gone off the boil. Having been undefeated in their first nine matches this season, they have lost their past two games by 35 and 39 runs. Brisbane have won four of their past five matches against the Adelaide Strikers, though. Overall meetings between these teams stand at nine wins apiece.

Matt Short will be a key wicket for the Heat. The Strikers’ captain has scored 31% of his team’s runs this season, but Adelaide's upturn in form came when they brought in leg spinner Lloyd Pope to partner fellow leggie Cameron Boyce. So far they have proved to be a literally unbeatable combination. The Perth Scorchers looked to have been cantering along towards a victory target of 156 in the Knockout but Pope’s 4-24 from his four overs, and Boyce’s 3-20 turned the game Strikers’ way.

Below are all the details to get a Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers live stream, and how to watch every ball of BBL 13 live online.

Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers live streams around the world

It's only natural that you might want to watch a free Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers live stream from your home country, but what if you're traveling overseas when the cricket is on?

Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home - 7 plus for Aussies abroad.
