Teams Status

Adelaide Strikers

Both these teams have played twice so far this season, and both have won one and lost the other, although Adelaide have more points, thanks to the bonus they’ve collected.

Adelaide started the tournament with a close defeat to Melbourne Renegades but then avenged that loss with a crushing 49-run win over the same opponents.

Their batting, in both their games, has failed to truly click but their bowlers were exceptional in the last game, bundling out the Renegades for a mere 100.

While the bowling unit, owing to the talent they have, will continue to shine, the batters must step up and pull their weight. The top order appears to get starts but in the two games, none of the batters have hung around for long enough, which is something the management must sort out.

Perth Scorchers

Perth Scorchers have only played one match so far in this tournament, registering a slim win over Brisbane Heat.

Their batters had done a modest job for a total of 157, which is not the biggest total by any means. Thus, their bowlers were required to be extra efficient, and that they were, especially Matthew Kelly, who picked up four wickets for just 28 runs in his quota of overs.

A pair of wickets for Kelly up top and then a pair again at the death proved pivotal in Scorchers’ bid to get off the mark.

Such a performance is not an everyday occurrence and so the Scorchers’ batters will have to do better in the games to come.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Adelaide Strikers to win @ 2.442

Perth have a flawless record so far in this Big Bash League and Adelaide have lost a game already, but we think the latter’s bowling has more talent, to name just one is Rashid Khan – the king of spin bowling. Adelaide have also won four of their last five games against Perth, although they lost in their last meeting. At underdog odds, we find more value in Adelaide than in Perth at favourite odds. The odds have been sourced from Paripesa.

Tip: Kurtis Patterson total runs under 19.5 @ 1.85

Perth’s Kurtis Patterson scored a brilliant 55 off 30 in the win over Brisbane Heat. While that knock was great, not every day is Sunday. We think he is primed for a dampener now. The odds have been sourced from Sportsbet.

Conclusion

Adelaide bowling is just brilliant. The Rashid Khan-led unit will give a lot of teams a lot of trouble in this Big Bash League. We’re siding with Adelaide on account of their more talented ball hurlers.
