ADS vs PER Team Previews
Adelaide Strikers
The Strikers will go into this match in the wake of four successive defeats to the Sydney Sixers, Melbourne Renegades, Melbourne Stars and Scorchers. They are at the bottom of the standings and desparately need a win if they want to remain in contention for a play-off berth.
Matthew Short and Chris Lynn have emerged as Adelaide's leading run-scorers this season. Short has hit 275 in five innings to Lynn's 217 in five. Both are striking at more than 150 per 100 deliveries. D'Arcy Short has weighed in with 154 runs, but really, Adelaide need other batters contributing bigger numbers as well.
Bowling-wise, England recruits David Payne and Jamie Overton have been at the fore of Adelaide's wicket-taking exploits. Payne's six wickets have complemented Overton's eight. Matthew Short and Cameron Boyce are the Strikers' leading spinners with three wickets each.
Victory here could catapult the Strikers from eighth to fifth position in the standings, but they will be hard pressed against a Scorchers outfit they lost to recently. As one of the best all-rounders in the tournament, Matthew Short could be key to Adelaide's ambition here.
Adelaide Strikers Playing 11
Matthew Short, D'Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Adam Hose, Thomas Kelly, Jamie Overton, Harry Nielsen, Henry Thornton, David Payne, Cameron Boyce, Lloyd Pope.
Perth Scorchers
The Scorchers haven't been beaten this BBL season. They will head into this match on the back of four consecutive wins over the Melbourne Stars, Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades and Strikers. They have plenty of momentum and are chasing top spot on the points table.
Aaron Hardie has more than 100 runs than any other Perth batter this season. He has been their standout performer en route to 216 runs in five innings. Josh Inglis and Laurie Evans have provided support with 109 runs in just two innings. His arrival to the Scorchers' XI has been impressive.
Jason Behrendorff and Lance Morris are Perth's top wicket-takers this season. Behrendorff's height has brought him nine wickets and Morris' pace has given him eight. They have been superb individidually and collectively. Conditions in Adelaide could suit them again.
While Perth could do with more runs, it's their bowlers - namely the seamers - that have brought them a lot of success this tournament. Jhye Richardson and Andrew Tye have also been in fine form. Look out for a big performance from them again.

Zak Crawley, Sam Whiteman, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, Laurie Evans, Cooper Connolly, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris.
ADS vs PER Toss Prediction

It's probable the captain to win the toss this time will elect to bowl first. Teams prefer to pursue rather than set targets in this format and tournament.

Pitch and Conditions
The Adelaide Oval has been a high-scoring venue this BBL season. It has produced scores of 200, 205, 205 and 211. A score of 210-plus in the first innings can be considered competitive here.
Both teams might consider playing two specialist spinners, but the seamers have had a big say in the tournament so far. Some rain is forecast in Adelaide on matchday, but probably not enough to shorten the fixture.
ADS vs PER Betting Tips
Perth are in the strongest position to win this match. They have far more momentum than Adelaide. This could be an interesting battle between the Scorchers' in-form bowling unit and Adelaide's formidable batting resources.
Bet on the Perth Scorchers, who are priced as 1.57 favourites, to beat the 2.60 underdogs Adelaide Strikers here.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Evans hit 85 not out in the Scorchers' last match against the Strikers. He is in a good position to succeed against the same opposition again.
Short is Adelaide's top run-scorer this BBL season. He has hit four half-centuries in his last five innings. He is pushing for a return to Australia's limited-overs XI.
Tye has plenty of experience in the BBL and other domestic T20 leagues around the world. He is in fine form this month. His slower deliveries are particularly threatening and could be key in these Adelaide conditions again.
