Discover the predicted Perth Scorchers’ Playing XI as they prepare to take on Adelaide Strikers. The ‘number 3’ Perth Scorchers will take on the ‘struggling’ and ‘down and out’ Adelaide Strikers in the 17th match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2024-25. They have been through a mixed run of form so far in the tournament, winning and losing two games each in the four matches of their campaign.
Ashton Turner’s men are coming off a 33-run win against Brisbane Heat in the last game following a narrow 2-wicket loss against the Melbourne Renegades. They will be eyeing winning this match and moving to the second spot on the tournament’s points table, surpassing Melbourne Renegades, who are currently at the number 2.
The predicted Perth Scorchers’ Playing XI for their next game against the Adelaide Strikers:
Openers:
The Scorchers’ management will look ahead to go with the same opening pair of Finn Allen and wicketkeeper-batter Matty Hurst in the next game. However, the duo could not deliver up to the expectations in the last game against Brisbane Heat.
Matty Hurst managed to score 28 runs off 25 balls, with two fours and a six. Finn Allen was dismissed on a duck but his potential can be trusted to pay it back for the Scorchers in the next game.
Middle-Order:
Copper Connolly played a crucial and steady knock of 37 runs in the last over followed by Aaron Hardie’s 24 runs off 23 balls. Following these two, skipper Ashton Turner also scored quick 22 runs off just 13 balls, with one four and two sixes.
Apart from these three, Nick Hobson also played swashbuckling and an unbeaten knock of 47 runs off just 16 balls, with two fours and five sixes. This could be a perfect middle-order lineup for the Scorchers in their next clash against the Strikers.
All-Rounders:
Bowling all-rounders, Ashton Agar and Matthew Kelly can be picked as the all-rounders in the playing XI for the next game. However, they couldn’t deliver with the bat but both the players were quite effective with the ball.
Matthew Kelly scalped 2 wickets while Agar bowled an outstanding and economical spell, scalping 1 wicket at just 14 runs, including a maiden over in his four-over stint. They could be very useful with the ball in the next game against the Strikers.
Bowlers:
The bowling attack of the Scorchers will be led by the experienced pacer Andrew Tye; he scalped 2 wickets at just 23 runs in 3.4 overs. He will be accompanied by Jason Behrendorff, and Lance Morris in the bowling lineup.
Jason Behrendorff scalped 2 wickets, alongside a wicket bagged by Lance Morris. It could be a decent bowling attack for the Scorchers in the next game against the Strikers.
