Prediction
  • In the last week, Scorchers lost their matchup against the table-topping Stars, but then proceeded to beat Thunder comprehensively (by 8 wickets with more than 4 overs to spare). Under normal circumstances, that would put them closer to the Strikers, not farther.
  • However, in that same week, Strikers have gone on a 3-match winning streak. After beating Heat by a huge margin (10 wickets and 7 wickets to spare), they beat the Hurricanes by 10 runs and then managed to hang on against the Stars to win by 11 runs: giving the Stars only their 3rd loss in 13 games this season.
  • That win has now boosted them to #2 on the table, dislodging the Sixers. And that also means that they definitely have a bigger edge over the Scorchers now than they did a week ago.

Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers match prediction

Perth Scorchers will take on Adelaide Strikers in match 56 of the Big Bash League 2019-2020 edition at the Perth Stadium on Fꦡriday.

In order to cement their place in the top four, Perth Scorchers will have to win their remaining two fixtures against Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder. The Strikers are already pretty much safe as they are placed second on the points table after four wins from their last five games. The Scorchers need nothing but a victory to thwart Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat’s chances of making it to the Big Bash League Playoffs. This is going to be a litmus test for the Scorchers as they will be up against two very good teams in their last two fixtures of the league stage and in order to st🌼ay alive in the tournament, they need to outshine both t🐈heir opponents. While the Scorchers and the Strikers will battle It out in the middle, we can make a lot of money by simply placing the bets on the markets that I have brought to you in this article. So, let’s get started:

Wells is the highest run scorer for the Strikers

When it comes to Adelaide Strikers, the first few names that can come to your mind who would make a lot of difference with their bats would be Travis Head, Alex Carey and Jake Weatherald right? You missed a name there, mi amigo, and that name is going to make you a lot of money on Friday – and he goes by the name of Jonathan Wells. Getting straight to the numbers here – Wells is the third highest run scorer in the league and the highest run getter for Adelaide Strikers with 406 runs in 11 innings at a jaw-dropping average of 81.20 and he has four half centuries under his belt. Wells was also the highest run scorer for the Strikers in the previous season of the Big Bash League with 359 runs in 14 matches and had successfully maintained an average of 44.87, which is considered to be very g💯ood in this particular format of the game. The last time these two sides met, Wells raced off to 18 runs from 9 balls and remained unbeaten, adding the perfect finishing touch to the innings. Bet 365 is offering odds of 5.50 for Wells to be the top team batsman for the Strikers and if you go by the numbers, that is the ideal outcome.  

Rashid Khan is the highest wicket taker 

Adelaide Strikers have a seasoned campaigner in the form of Rashid Khan in their ranks and he hardly disappoints with the ball, does he? Now, he has honed his skills with the bat as well, which made him a priceless addition to this Strikers’ squad. The crafty leggie from Afghanistan is the second highest wicket taker in the league and the highest wicket taker for Adelaide Strikers in the ongoing season of the Big Bash League. He has 17 scalps to his name in 12 matches at an average of 18.35 and has maintained a strike rate of 15.6; he also has a four-wicket haul under his belt. The last time Rashid Khan faced the Scorchers earlier this season, he was the top team bowler for the Strikers with three wickets to his name. When it comes to playing against the Scorchers, he has picked up nine wickets and boasts an economy rate of only 5.30. He was also the highest wicket taker for the Strikers in the previous season of the Big Bash League with 19 scalps in 14 games. Bet 365 is offering odds of 2.75 for Rashid Khan to be the top team bowler for Adelaide Strikers against Perth Scorchers at the Perth St🐼adium on Friday and Rashid hardly fails me and my prediction!

Magic cricket ball

The Scorchers have 76 sixes compared to the Strikers’ 61

The Scorchers may be behind on points from the Strikers, but they are way ahead of the Adelaide outfit when it comes to hitting the ball out of the park. Both teams boast names who can the clear the ropes with ease but the ones in Scorchers seem to have flexed their muscles a lot more in this ongoing season of the Big Bash League. Perth Scorchers have clattered 76 sixes in 12 matches in the tournament so far and they are not done yet, and, on the other hand, Adelaide Strikers have only managed to hit 61 sixeꦜs in as many matches.  When it comes to head to head encounters, Perth Scorchers have smashed 77 sixes compared to Adelaide Strikers’ 63 hits. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, Perth Scorchers managed to hit 53 sixes, and this is the only time Adelaide Strikers have edged thei💖r opponent with 61 sixes. However, the presence of big hitters like Mitchell Marsh, Liam Livingstone and Joh Inglis in the Scorchers squad have helped them to get way ahead of the Strikers in the current season of the Big Bash League. Betfair is offering odds of 2.05 for Perth Scorchers to hit more sixes in the match and if you actually believe this seasons’ and overall numbers, they are the ones likely to edge ahead of the Strikers.
