The Strikers are in fourth place in the table but have lost their last three games. Perth Scorchers are top of the table with nine victories. Read on as we preview the game. This match gets underway in Adelaide at 16:00 local time.
Adelaide Strikers have hit poor form with the end of the group stage in view. They have only two matches remaining and face a very tough match against the top of the table side.
It has been another fine group stage from Perth Scorchers who look to be on course to defend their title from the 2021-22 season. They are in excellent form and we fully expect another victory for them in Adelaide.

Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
STR Team News
Captain Peter Siddle missed the trip to Coffs Harbour for Match 45 against Sydney Sixers with a back injury but he is expected to come back to lead the team in this game. Jake Weatherald’s abdominal strain will continue to keep him out of the squad.
STR Key Players
- Matthew Short - The leading run scorer in the BBL 2022-23 hit another six boundaries in his 40 runs from 24 balls against Sydney Sixers in the last game.
- Alex Carey - The keeper-batter has missed the majority of this BBL campaign due to international commitments but comes into this match in good form after hitting 54 runs from 35 balls on Tuesday.
- Wes Agar - The right-arm pace bowler has taken 17 wickets across the tournament. He dismissed Kurtis Patterson and Dan Christian in the last match.
Adelaide Strikers are in very poor form and are hoping to avoid their fourth successive BBL defeat in this match.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
After a comfortable victory over Hobart Hurricanes in Match 46, by seven wickets with 15 balls remaining, it would be a surprise if there were any changes to Perth Scorchers’ XI in this game. We expect Jhye Richardson to return to the side from a hamstring injury in the next game,
SCO Key Players
- Josh Inglis - Only Chris Lynn and Matthew Short have hit more runs than Perth Scorchers’ keeper-batter in this year’s competition. He has the highest strike-rate of any of the top seven run scorers in BBL12.
- Aaron Hardie - With an average of 52.71, it has been an excellent campaign from Hardie. He comes into this game after hitting 90 not out from 62 balls in the last match.
- Andrew Tye - The 36 year old right-arm medium fast bowler is the leading wicket taker in this tournament and dismissed the dangerous Ben McDermott in the win over Hobart Hurricanes.

Who will win Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers T20 Match?
Adelaide Strikers have seen some very fine individual performances across the tournament but have failed to match the team efforts of Perth Scorchers who have found two or three players in every game to step up.
🏆 Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers Prediction
Although Perth Scorchers lost to their group stage rivals Sydney Sixers in Match 43, they have been playing excellent cricket throughout this tournament. Adelaide Strikers have had some excellent games but have struggled to maintain their consistency from match to match. Perth Scorchers have players with bat and ball who very rarely fail to deliver and we are predicting another win for them in this game.
