SCO vs STR Match Preview

On Friday evening at the Adelaide Oval, the Adelaide Strikers will face the Perth Scorchers in Big Bash League match 27. The Strikers are at the bottom of the table after losing four and winning one of their first six games. The Scorchers have won four of their five games and remain unbeaten. Adelaide Strikers suffered another defeat in Match 25 on Wednesday, and it will take a significant turnaround for the team to beat the same opposition this Friday. The Strikers have not looked particularly dangerous with the ball this season. Perth Scorchers added another comfortable win to their BBL record on Wednesday, and they will fancy their chances of making it two wins in three days over Adelaide Strikers. Their bowlers will have to work harder on this pitch, but they have plenty of talented players to help them out.

SCO vs STR Probable Winners:

The Perth Scorchers are already expected to go far in this year’s BBL, and defending their title is not out of the question. The Strikers have had some good batting performances both at home and away, but taking enough wickets has been their main issue. We anticipate a close game, but we believe the Perth Scorchers will win comfortably. Considering the team combination, Perth Scorchers is expected to win this match.
