The two teams met on 11 occasions during the home and away matches in BBLs 01-09 but have never met in a final. Little separates the two teams in performance. The Stars won five matches (three on the MCG, one at the Adelaide Oval and one at Moe in country Victoria. The Strikers won five of their six matches at the Adelaide Oval and the remaining victory was at Carrara on the Gold Coast. Both teams have recorded two narrow wins while the Strikers lead the “comfortable winning margin” stakes four to three. Of interest is the scheduling of one match away from either of the two main venues in each of the two recent seasons.
