Adelaide Strikers take on Perth Scorchers in the 9^th match of the Big Bash League 2021-22 on Saturday at Perth Stadium. A team filled with young stars, Adelaide Strikers have performed admirably thus far in the competition.

They would look to continue the winning momentum. Adelaide opener, Mathew Short played terrific knocks in both games at the top of the order. He gave a solid start in the last game, having managed to score 32 off 17. Short, however, would be disappointed to have not converted the starts into big scores.

Well too made a crucial contribution of 37 off 30 as Adelaide Strikers posted 149 runs in the first innings. Melbourne Renegades, in reply, were bowled out for a paltry 100-run total.

Ahead of their next game on Saturday, Adelaide would look to continue the winning momentum.

Facing them are Perth Scorchers, who have made a winning start in the competition. The Scorchers played their first game against Brisbane Heat at home. A combined batting performance helped the team post 157 in the first innings.

Kurtis Patterson scored a sensational half-century off just 30 balls, while Ashton Turner played a notable 19-ball 29 cameo. Brisbane Heat too fought hard but fell short of 6 runs in the end.

For Perth, M Kelly starred with the ball as he picked 4 for 28. Ashton Agar too was brilliant in the middle overs as he gave away only 16 runs for just 1 wicket. Perth Scorchers have some wonderful bowlers and it’s going to be difficult for Adelaide to post a competitive score on the board.
