Should bowl first so they know how many overs to jump the Gades in NRR
They'd need to win by approx 20 runs min batting first, or win with 12+ balls to spare chasing.. roughly at a guess.
Brisbane play Hobart and Stars play Thunder, so both Heat and Thunder would also need to win and Adelaide not close the NRR gap with Renegades to miss.
Although way Strikers have played in recent games, it's hard to see them winning as it is.
*edit* - having said that, Hobart could do a big number on Heat and the Strikers miss still
