Match 27 sees Adelaide Strikers host Perth Scorchers with the 2023/24 Big Bash League starting to stretch out. Brisbane Heat are the table toppers but the Scorchers have two games in hand and are only three points behind them. However the picture is far more bleak for the Strikers who are propping up the table alongside the likes of Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades who all have one victory each.
The added context to this game is that they teams also met in Match 25 at the Perth Stadium! However, this game was something of a mis-match with the Scorchers posting 211/4 before the Strikers were dismissed for 169.
Perth Scorchers are in fine form and have a brilliantly varied attack, but can they make it two wins in three days against the Strikers?

Picking up wickets has been the main issue for Adelaide Strikers across this season and once again we saw the issue highlighted as Perth Scorchers lost only four wickets in Wednesday's game. Henry Thornton and Jamie Overton both took two wickets each and that means that four of the bowling attack from Match 25 come into this fixture after going wicketless in the previous match.
However, scoring runs has not been a problem for the Strikers and, in spite of sitting bottom of the table, ahead of Thursday's BBL fixtures, the two highest scoring players are both Adelaide Strikers! Captain Matthew Short is the leading run scorer with 275 runs at an average of 55.00 and the experienced Chris Lynn is averaging 54.25 from his five innings.
The runs will come for the Strikers but their bowling attack continues to look a little short.

Adelaide Strikers have the top two batters in the tournament but Perth Scorchers have Aaron Hardie in third place and their skipper finished last year's BBL as the leading run scorer. Perth Scorchers have always been a side who get contributions from across their squad and this was shown in the reverse fixture against the Strikers with numbers 2-5 in the batting order scoring between 26 and 85 runs! Laurie Evans was the star performer, finishing unbeaten on 85 from 28 balls and the sight of him at the crease will give the Adelaide Strikers bowlers nightmares on Wednesday and Thursday night.
And with the ball, the Scorchers have variety, experience but most of all talent. Take your pick from Andrew Tye, Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Jhye Richardson and Lance Morris - the latter who took a 5-wicket haul on Wednesday.
Right now, the Scorchers look unstoppable.

The temperature is forecast to be between 28 and 25 degrees from start to finish on Friday evening in Adelaide. No rain is forecast so we can all look forward to zero interruptions to the match.

Average TurnThis year, the Adelaide Oval has played host to high scoring contests. The first match was a complete washout but since then the two matches have seen scores of 200+ in all four innings. We can expect good pace, bounce and carry on this wicket and the batters will get full value for their shots.
Both completed games at the Adelaide Oval have been won by the team who fields first. Therefore, we expect the two skippers to want to bowl first in this match and chase a total in the second innings.
Adelaide Strikers have the ability to post a big total or chase down a large score. However, when it comes to bowling, Perth Scorchers are far stronger. Wednesday's game saw the Scorchers win by 42 runs and we expect them to come out on top by a similar margin on Friday evening at the Adelaide Oval.
We are backing Perth Scorchers to win this match!
