Big Bash League Cricket Match Prediction 2023-24 | Knockout | Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers – Let’s see who will win. | Jan 20

Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers Match Analysis

On Saturday night, the Perth Scorchers and Adelaide Strikers will play in the 2023–24 Big Bash League play-offs Knockout Round. With 13 points, the Scorchers ended the group stage two points ahead of the Strikers, who took fourth place going into the play-offs. At Perth Stadium, the game begins at 16:40 local time.

Sydney Sixers defeated Perth Scorchers in their most recent game, but it was a close contest that ended with a ball in the last moments of play. Perth Scorchers will likely put up a strong fight to continue in the competition because they are the defending champions from the last two seasons.

In their last four games, Adelaide Strikers have defeated the Scorchers, the Hurricanes (twice), and Sydney Thunder, winning each game with extra balls. They will not be afraid when they head to Perth, even if they are facing a formidable opponent.

Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers Team Preview & Squads

Perth Scorchers

The middle-order runs that Laurie Evans brought to the Perth Scorchers will be difficult to replicate in this game. We anticipate that Stephen Eskinazi will be healthy for this matchup despite having to leave the Sydney Sixers game in the group round due to an injury.

Only opposition captain Matthew Short has scored more runs this season than batting all-arounder Aaron Hardie, who finished the league as the competition’s top run scorer last year. Josh Inglis, the white ball keeper for Australia, averages over 31 in T20 cricket and smashed three more fours in the Sydney Sixers loss.

The tall left-arm fast bowler Jason Behrendorff, who is leading the Perth Scorchers in the BBL 2023–24, removed Josh Philippe, Jordan Silk, and Jake Edwards in the most recent match. The right-arm fast bowler Lance Morris took 3/26 against the top-of-the-table Brisbane Heat just three days before his costly performance in the previous game.

Adelaide Strikers

Travis Head and Alex Carey may be available if the Australia vs. West Indies Test Match ends early, but most people anticipate Adelaide Strikers to stick with the lineup that defeated Sydney Thunder in Match 37. This season, Matthew Short, the captain, has shown no signs of slowing down. During his perfect innings on Monday, he smashed eight more boundaries. After rejoining the club, left-handed 29-year-old Jake Weatherald has regained his rhythm, scoring 80 runs without conceding a run against the Hobart Hurricanes and 47 against the Sydney Thunder.

In another outstanding bowling display in Match 37, Jamie Overton, the England international right-arm fast bowler, removed David Warner, Oliver Davies, and Matthew Gilkes. Leg-spinner Lloyd Pope, 24, took 2/36 against the Perth Scorchers earlier this month and 4/22 against Sydney Thunder.

Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers outfield report

Perth Stadium, Perth

We anticipate that Perth Scorchers, who won the toss and elected to bat, will prefer to bat first in this match even if they lost their previous game played here. We predict that if the Strikers win the toss, they will opt to field first since they have won their last four games when they have chosen to do so.

Perth is expected to have a pleasant, bright late afternoon and evening. During this game, the temperature will drop by no less than 27 degrees. As the entire tournament has shown, this is a great batting pitch. We anticipate 398 runs in this Knockout game, as we did on Tuesday.
