There is a very small chance of either of these teams making it to the top 4. With 6 points each from 9 games, the maximum they can reach is 8 points. Other teams like BRH and MLR are ahead with a better chance of finishing at number 4.
Nevertheless, it is a must-win game for both sides as they lock horns for the second time this season. The last time they met, Perth Scorchers restricted the Stirkers to 142 runs and chased down the target with 7 wickets in hand.
Scorchers have been struggling with the bat since then. They lost two consecutive home games right after their win over Adelaide. Most of their key batters are inconsistent.
And while the Strikers have managed to win just 1 of their last 3 games, their batting returns were much better. The middle order is in great touch and looks reliable.

Perth Scorchers come home for their last league stage match. After winning their first two outings at this venue, the Scorchers lost the next two games. In their last match on this ground, the hosts suffered a batting collapse and finished with 147 for 8 batting first.
While they quickly improved in the very next game with a 200+ score while chasing a big total, the batting collapsed again as they were bowled out for 97 runs in their recent loss in Sydney.
Batting inconsistencies are a huge concern for the Scorchers. Cooper Connolly and Ashton Turner are the key middle-order players for Perth Scorchers. A lot depends on these two.
If these two are out cheaply, we don’t expect the Scorchers to post a competitive total or chase one down. Sam Fanning and Finn Allen have struggled to get them off to a good start. However, we can still expect one of these two to get going and score some quick runs in the powerplay.
There is great potential in this side but the current form is a major issue. The bowlers are their only hope. They’ve been delivering consistently in recent games. Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris, and Ashton Agar are the key wicket-takers to watch out for.
Connolly's been a star this season (316 runs in 9 matches!), but his Perth Stadium record is a bit mixed (43, 37, 64, 0). We're backing him to turn it around and deliver a match-winning knock for the Scorchers in a potential knockout game.

Adelaide Strikers will back themselves to continue their batting form as they take on Perth Scorchers in an away game. D Arcy Short came in for Chris Lynn in the last game.
He managed to score just 10 off 9 balls opening alongside Matthew Short. Lynn was in fine touch and would be a better choice for the opener. However, D Arcy Short brings in an extra bowling option with his left-arm wrist spin.
Alex Carey is an experienced campaigner at number 3. He may not strike the ball at a faster rate but can build steady partnerships. Ollie Pope and Alex Ross look promising at 4 and 5 and will be the key batters to watch out for.
Right-arm fast bowler Jamie Overton is also quite handy with the bat and can score some quick runs at number 6 for the Strikers. In the bowling attack, Overton has a key role to play.
He needs to deliver regular breakthroughs along with Henry Thornton and Lloyd Pope. D Arcy Short is also known for his wicket-taking ability and was the top wicket-taker for ADS in their recent win over Brisbane with figures of 4 for 15.
Short's been on fire this season, but his Perth record against the Scorchers isn't great (average 21). With the pressure on in this final game, we think the Scorchers bowlers will get him out early and predict his score to be under 26 runs.

It will be clear and sunny in Perth on the match day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. It is likely to rain a day before the match but no signs of cloud on the game day and we can expect a complete and exciting thriller in the last home game of the season for Perth.

Minimal TurnThere is great bounce and pace on offer at the Perth Stadium. Fast bowlers will be crucial in this game. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 174 runs. It has been a high-scoring venue in T20s with 201 runs being the highest total successfully chased at the venue. We reckon 185+ runs total will be a highly competitive score in this match.
We predict the Perth Scorchers to win the coin toss in their final game of the season.
The average total match score in the four BBL matches played at Perth Stadium this season is 312 runs. As both teams are eliminated and are coming on the back of a high scoring games. Both batting units will have one final chance this season to go all-out on the bowlers. The surface has gotten better for batting in recent games and we predict it to be a high scoring game with both teams scoring over 165 runs.
Teams bowling first have won 3 of the last 4 BBL matches played at this venue. Scorchers opted to bowl first in their last two outings and will likely continue this approach. The visitors have a deep batting lineup and that puts them in a better position to chase down a target.
Though PRS are playing at home, we don’t see much of the home advantage playing in their favor. The visitors are in better form with the bat and will have a slight edge. However, Perth Scorchers’ bowlers look threatening and can pose a tough challenge to the Strikers making for a close contest between the two teams. Adelaide Strikers, with their batting depth, will have the upper hand in our match prediction.
