Adelaide Strikers are placed at No. 2 on the points table, while Perth Scorchers are placed at No. 3. The two in-form teams lock horns on Sunday, November 5 in Perth in what promises to be an intriguing encounter.
Perth Scorchers have registered four wins and two losses in the six games they have played. Adelaide Strikers also have identical statistics. However, Tahlia McGrath and Co. are placed higher on the points table by virtue of a better net run-rate (NRR).
Perth, led by Sophie Devine, are coming into this contest on the back of a comfortable six-wicket win against the Melbourne Renegades. The skipper scored a half-century and so did experienced opener Beth Mooney as the Scorchers chased down the 172-run target with 16 balls to spare at W.A.C.A. Ground.
The Strikers, on the other hand, secured a five-wicket win against Sydney Sixers, chasing down a 112-run target in 17.1 overs. Opener Katie Mack stood out with a sedate 45-ball 50. Anesu Mushange was named Player of the Match for her excellent effort with the ball, finishing with figures of 2/18 in four overs.

Beth Mooney (Perth Scorchers Women)
The southpaw has scored 220 runs in six games at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 150.68. She has gotten her team off to some exhilarating starts inside the PowerPlay. The Strikers will do well to dismiss Mooney early on in her innings as he can cause a lot of damage once she gets set.
Probable Best Bowler
Amanda-Jade Wellington (Adelaide Strikers Women)
The leg-spinner has been bowling with commendable consistency and has picked up nine wickets in six games. She is averaging just 10.78 and has a remarkable economy rate of just 5.39. McGrath has used her well in the tournament thus far and the 26-year-old has delivered more often than not.
