Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers Preview


The Perth Scorchers are in superb form while the hosts are struggling to get any results. I best bet is for the Scorchers to remain unbeaten with another win while Matthew Short and Aaron Hardie offer good value in the run-scoring markets.

Head to Head


Perth Scorchers have won four of their last five games against the Strikers. They met just a few days ago, a match the Scorchers won by 42 runs.

Adelaide Strikers Form


The Adelaide Strikers come into this fixture in a very poor position. After six games, they are bottom of the table on three points having lost four of their six games with one win and a no result.

The Strikers last game was against the same opposition in Perth where they conceded 211 runs bowling first. Their bowling effort actually started well but a late flurry of runs saw the Scorchers go over 200.

On a good batting deck, the Strikers certainly had the players to chase a score in excess of 200, but only Matthew Short managed to get going, scoring 74 off 44 balls. In the end the Adelaide side were all out for 169 runs.

We could see some changes in the bowling department for this fixture. It is close to a must-win for the hosts.

Perth Scorchers Form


The Perth Scorchers are putting their best foot forward in an attempt to defend their title. They are currently second on nine points, three off the Brisbane Heat but with two games in hand.

The Scorchers have yet to taste defeat in their five games with four wins and a no result. Last time out the Scorchers beat the Strikers by 42 runs at home.

Batting first, the Scorchers got off to a decent start, but no one really went on to score big runs. That was until Laurie Evans came to the wicket, smashing 85* off just 28 balls to propel the hosts to 211 in 20 overs.

Lan Morris then took 5-24 in four overs to secure the 42-run win.

The visitors are in red-hot form coming into this game. I do not see them making many changes to their side.

Verdict

The Perth Scorchers are backed to win in Adelaide with Aaron Hardie tipped to top score.

For the Strikers, Matthew Short has been in sublime form with the bat.
