THE LOWDOWN

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

  • On the back of being thrashed by Sydney Sixers, Adelaide Strikers face another formidable challenge here against the second of the two out-and-out front runners across this season’s men’s BBL.
  • It’s been a struggle for an extended period of time now for Adelaide, having now lost three games in a row and another defeat here would see them seriously sweating over their play-off spot.

PERTH SCORCHERS

  • Reigning champions Perth Scorchers took back their place at the top of the men’s BBL table from Sydney Sixers this past Wednesday after defeating Hobart Hurricanes by seven wickets at Optus Stadium.
  • Victory here would take them three points clear of the Sixers and leave them knowing that a win in their final group game would definitely seal top spot going into the play-offs.

THE PREDICTION

Without the likes of Rashid Khan and Chris Lynn, it has proven a real struggle lately for Adelaide Strikers, who are also lacking firepower down the order, especially once their batters at number six or lower are exposed. Injury to captain Peter Siddle represents a further blow to the hosts and you’d expect a team of Perth Scorchers’ class to capitalise. The batting order of the Scorchers is looking absolutely superb and it’s hard to see them being stopped at any point, even if they were to lose any early wickets. Back victory for the visitors in this game, further nailing down their position as league leaders.
