Tournament: WOMENS BIG BASH LEAGUE 2020 | Format: T20 | Venue: North Sydney Oval, Sydney, Australia | Toss: To Bowl
Bet NowThings are heating up in the Women’s Big Bash League 2020 as the league stage is coming to an end and the semi-finalists are yet to be decided. With 3 teams on 12 points and 1 team on 11, the next few remaining games are of paramount significance. A lot of eyes will now be on the clash between Perth Scorchers Women and Adelaide Strikers Women. Perth is at the 3rd place on the table with 14 points while Adelaide is at No. 6 with 11 points in their kitty. Both the teams will be desperate for a win to stand a better chance to confirm their top four spot. This has all the makings of a high-octane thriller.
Perth Scorchers Women haven’t been the most consistent team this season but they have still been pretty good. After suffering two back-to-back losses, they came back strongly in their last match against Hobart Hurricanes and registered a commanding 10-wicket. After restricting the hurricanes for just 134, Perth chased the target down without a loss of any wicket courtesy stellar knocks from openers Sophie Devine (87*) and Beth Mooney (48*). The return of Divine has made an instant difference to the team and the management would be hoping that the star skipper can continue her form.
Barring the two openers, the likes of Amy Ellen Jones, Chloe Piparo, Heather Graham, Nicole Bolton have been rather inconsistent and would need to do better.
On the bowling front, Perth is quite settled. Taneale Peschel with 13 wickets is their leading wicket-taker so far while Sarah Glenn (12 wickets), Heather Graham (11 wickets), and Bolton (10 wickets) have done a great supporting job. This bowling unit should be good enough on this wicket.
With 14 points already earned, Perth is in a good position now and a win in this game will pretty much seal their semi-final spot.

Time is running out fast for Adelaide Strikers Women and from here on they cannot afford any more slip-ups as even one loss could mean the end of their journey this year. Unfortunately, they are not coming to this game with good form and have lost two consecutive matches that have really dented them. In their last game versus Sydney Thunder Women, they could only post 133-6 after batting first and lost by 5 wickets.
Adelaide has shown great promise in patches this season and has fared poorly on other occasions. For them, Laura Wolvaardt (310 runs) has been the main star in the middle order and the South African batter would have to play a key role in this match too. Stafanie Taylor (226 runs), along with openers Tahlia McGrath (225 runs), and Katie Mack (219 runs) have been the other leading run-getters for the team this season and would certainly be the players to watch out for.
Adelaide’s bowling has primarily revolved around Sarah Coyte (18 wickets), Amanda Wellington (16 wickets), and captain Megan Schutt (11 wickets). These three have mostly done the job for the team. Leg-spinner Wellington is fresh from a spell of 3-33 in the last match and could be the impact bowler in this game too.

The pitch at the North Sydney Oval in Sydney has played quite true throughout the season. There’s always been something in it for everyone, although the batters have generally had a better time here. The pitch doesn’t slow down much but does offer bounce which should keep the seamers and spinners interested.
The weather forecast for the day of the match at Sydney isn’t very promising with a 50% chance of showers and the chance of a thunderstorm. We could hence have another truncated game.
In the last game played at the North Sydney Oval between Hobart Hurricanes Women and Perth Scorchers Women, Perth comfortably chased down a target of 135 in 14.4 overs without losing a wicket. The venue has produced some high totals but with chances of rain, the team batting first would target a score of around 160-170 to truly feel safe.
The team winning the toss could look to bat second as this is a crucial game and there are chances of rain. Thus, having a target in sight could be beneficial.
The previous match between Perth Scorchers Women and Adelaide Strikers Women in this season was washed out. However, the two teams have maintained a steady rivalry over the past couple of seasons with no team maintaining complete dominance over the other. In this season, Perth has fared better than Adelaide and looks like a solid all-round team. Adelaide does have a good side but they aren’t consistent enough and the two recent losses would have certainly hurt them. They are in greater need of a win would be tensed about their chances. Perth is in form and the return of Sophie Divine at the top makes them even stronger. They will hence begin as favorites for this game.
We are backing the Perth Scorchers Women as the winners of this match.
