Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers Predictions

This is a tough one to call between two teams woefully out of form, but still, both have a shot at qualification with a win. It is the Strikers that look in better shape to me as the Scorchers batting lineup has continuously failed this season.

My best bet is a Strikers win.

Perth Scorchers have lost their last 4 matches.
Perth Scorchers have won their last 2 matches against the Adelaide Strikers.
Perth Scorchers’ Cooper Connolly has been the only consistent batsmen this season.
Adelaide Strikers have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.
Adelaide Strikers’ Ollie Pope scored 57 runs in his last match.

Head to Head

The Scorchers have won three of their last five against the Strikers, including their fixture earlier this season.

Perth Scorchers Form

The Perth Scorchers are in seventh position on six points and can only qualify for the playoffs of the BBL if they win here and hope the Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat lose their final matches.

It has been a very inconsistent season for the Scorchers with just three wins in nine games. In their last match, the Scorchers lost to the Sydney Thunder by 61 runs.

Lance Morris bowled well, taking 3-43 as the Thunder were restricted to 158 in 20 overs. The Scorchers batting has struggled all season, and it did so again, folding to 97 all out.

Runs have been tough to come by for the Scorchers this season. They may change things up in the final game but is a must-win so someone will have to play a big innings.

Adelaide Strikers Form

The Adelaide Strikers are in the same position as the Scorchers with a slightly better net run rate. They must also win this game and hope the Heat and Stars lose.

The Strikers scored 182 runs at home against the Sydney Sixers in their last fixtures. Ollie Pope eventually showed his quality with 57 runs while Alex Ross added 48.

In a nail-biting contest, the Thunder just scraped to a three-wicket win off the penultimate ball of the match.

The Strikers were good in their last match despite defeat. They may go into this game unchanged in Perth.

Verdict

Perth Scorchers v Adelaide Strikers - T20

The Adelaide Strikers batsmen seem to have a bit more form that their hosts thus I am backing the visitors to win. Ollie Pope is tipped to top score for the Strikers.
