Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
STR Team News
There were two changes for Adelaide Strikers ahead of their 42 run defeat to Perth Scorchers on Wednesday with David Payne and Henry Thornton returning to the team. Although Payne went wicketless, we expect him to retain his spot for this immediate re-match with the Scorchers.
STR Key Players
- Matthew Short- the skipper continued his extremely strong individual form with another seven fours and two sixes at the Perth Stadium on Wednesday.
- Chris Lynn- the 33 year old right-hander went on the attack with four fours and one six from his 16 balls in Match 25. He is currently the second highest run scorer in the tournament.
- Jamie Overton- the England international took 2/44 in Perth and picked up the wickets of Josh Inglis and Aaron Hardie. He has also made some excellent contributions with the bat this season.
- Henry Thornton- the pace bowler made his first appearance of the season on Wednesday and made an immediate impact by dismissing both openers, Zak Crawley and Sam Whiteman.
- D’Arcy Short - D’Arcy Short is having a good season with the bat so far. He has scored 154 runs so far at a strike rate of 116.66. His batting skills will be helpful on this batting surface.
STR Team Form
In this clash on Friday, Adelaide Strikers are looking to avoid their fifth successive defeat in the tournament.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
Although this pitch will provide a different test to the Perth Stadium on Wednesday, we are not expecting any changes to Perth Scorchers’ side for the trip to Adelaide. The batting line-up will be looking forward to the pace and bounce in the wicket.
SCO Key Players
- Aaron Hardie- the 24 year old batting all-rounder has already hit over 200 runs in this campaign and contributed another 34 runs in the last game.
- Laurie Evans- the experienced English middle order batter produced one of the best innings of BBL 2023-24 season with 85 not out from 28 balls against the Strikers on Wednesday.
- Lance Morris- the right-arm fast 25 year old is getting very close to making his international debut and his five-wicket haul at the Perth Stadium in Match 25 will have done his chances no harm.
- Jason Behrendorff- the left-arm quick bowler dismissed the dangerous D’Arcy Short in the head to head with the Strikers on Wednesday and he will be a threat again at the Adelaide Oval.
- Andrew Tye - Tye has been a prominent pacer in the BBL history. He is having a decent season so far with 7 wickets in 5 matches and we are backing him to pick more wickets in this match.
SCO Team Form
Perth Scorchers travel to Adelaide still unbeaten in this year’s Big Bash and targeting their fifth victory in a row.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing 11
Zak Crawley, Sam Whiteman, Aaron Hardie (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Laurie Evans, Cooper Connolly, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris

🏆 Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers Prediction
Perth Scorchers already look likely to go very far in this year’s BBL and defending their trophy once again is certainly not out of the question.
