Preview

The caravan of the Big Bash League rolls on and the tenth match will see the iconic Adelaide Oval play host to the tenth encounter between Adelaide Strikers and Perth Scorchers. The Strikers’ opening BBL fixture was abandoned thanks to the smoggy conditions at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. Jake Weatherland [42], Alex Carey [45] and Jonathan Wells, who scored an unbeaten 55 off 32 balls were the spearheads of the Strikers’ batting-unit’; one that led them to a total of 5-161 in 20 overs.

After the abandonment of the last game, the Strikers will be looking to notch up their maiden win of the tournament in front of the home fans when they take on Perth Scorchers on Monday. The Scorchers, on the other hand, successfully managed to reprive their campaign after having lost their opening game to Sydney Sixers, with an 11-run win over defending champions Melbourne Renegades.

The win was spearheaded by an imperious batting effort-led by Cameron Bancroft [51 off 37 balls], Ashton Turner [36 off 26 balls] and a whirlwind 22-ball 56 from skipper Mitchell Marsh; one that included six sixes and one boundary. Defending 197, Chris Jordan [2-30] and Fawad Ahmed [2-22] were the spearheads as the Scorchers romped home by 11 runs.
