Match Preview

Adelaide Strikers will square off with Perth Scorchers in the 47^th match of the BBL 2021/22 on Friday. Adelaide Strikers kept their playoffs hopes alive with a massive victory over Brisbane Heat by 71 runs on Wednesday. Rashid Khan’s impressive spell of bowling handed them a thumping win, but he will the remainder of the tournament. They moved to the 5^th spot in the standings with 17 points with that win.

Perth Scorchers have already made their way into the playoffs prior to two of their matches still left in the league stages. They convincingly registered two back-to-back victories against Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers by 47 runs and 5 wickets respectively. They are well placed at the top spot in the standings with 37 points.

Rashid Khan has been called for national duty ahead of Afghanistan’s ODI series against the Netherlands in Qatar and will not take part anymore in the ongoing season. All-rounder Matthew Short will be the key for the Strikers against the Scorchers as he has done reasonably well for his side throughout this season.

Perth Scorchers are sitting at the top of the points tally as apex predators, waiting eagerly to take down their next prey. Scorchers routed the Melbourne Stars in their previous game by 47 runs as wicket-keeper batter Laurie Evans scored a match-winning half-century and was also adjudged the player of the match. Matthew Kelly bowled a fantastic spell against the Stars and bagged a four-wicket haul. He will look to unsettle the Strikers’ batters when the two sides wrestle against each other on Friday.

Manuka Oval has hosted only one game in this tournament. The wicket is generally good for batting and there will be less assistance for the bowlers. It’s easier to bat on in the latter half of the match and bowling first is a good option.
