MATCH: Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers
DATE: Jan 20, 2024
TIME: 14:10 IST / 8:40 GMT

VENUE: Perth Stadium – Perth, Australia

TOURNAMENT: Big Bash League (BBL)

The hosts Scorchers started the season well but stumbled a couple of times towards the end as they finished third on the points table with 13 points from 10 matches. Strikers, on the other hand, are unbeaten in the last four matches but interestingly, their last defeat came against Scorches earlier in the season. 

Keeping that in mind, the Matthew Short-led side will seek revenge but given Scorcher’s history, they are a tough team to beat in knockout matches. Thus, it would be a scintillating battle when these two sides meet each other on January 20 at the Perth Stadium.

SCO vs STR Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Matthew Short

Skipper Matthew Short has been exceptional in this edition of the BBL. In nine matches, the 28-year-old has smashed 509 runs at a strike rate of 153.77 and with that, he is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament. He has been delivering time and again for Adelaide as the cricketer would be gunning to do well again to help his team qualify for the next round.

Probable Best Bowler: Jason Behrendorff

Jason Behrendorff picked up 15 wickets in nine matches so far in the competition. He has been remarkable with the new ball and is the third-leading wicket-taker in the tournament. If he manages to carry his form, the Strikers will have a tough time in the middle.
