Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers T20 Match?
Perth Scorchers are a tough opposition for even an in-form side at the top of the table. Adelaide Strikers can not get a win at the moment and player for player they look like a weaker team ahead of this game.
🏆 Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers Prediction
Although Adelaide Strikers have an in-form top order batting line-up, their bowling was particularly poor in their last match and that will need to improve if they are to give Perth Scorchers a competitive game on Wednesday. The Scorchers have a tried and trusted method of playing BBL cricket which has served them very well over recent seasons and we are backing them to win again in this fixture.
