ADS vs PER Match Preview
The Adelaide Strikers are faced with bowling issues in this tournament. This problem was once again highlighted in their last game. This problem was at the forefront in their previous match against the same opposition. Perth lost just four wickets against the opposition of Adelaide in the game played in the match played yesterday in Perth. Jamie Overton and Henry Thornton picked up two wickets each. But the remaining four bowlers from the Adelaide side went wicketless in this encounter.
However, the batting department of Adelaide Strikers has been doing a reasonable job. Although they were languishing near the bottom of the points table before the BBL fixture on Thursday, the two leading run-getters in the league are from Adelaide. Their skipper Matthew Short is leading the batting chart with 275 runs with an average of 55, while the experienced campaigner Chris Lynn is averaging 54.25 at the moment from his last five games. It appears the team is okay with the batting, but picking wickets has to be more consistent.
Perth Scorchers have also done a recommendable job in the competition. Aaron Hardie is currently in third place in the league batting charts, and he completed their last season as their leading run-getter. The Perth outfit has always been a team that received contributions from their middle order. Laurie Evans was their top performer with the bat in their last game, hitting 85 from just 28 balls. The task of bowling against him will again be a nightmare for the Adelaide Strikers bowlers in this game.
The Perth Scorchers also have a lot of talent with the ball in their ranks. These bowlers are not only talented but also experienced. Some of the top bowlers in the team are Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris, Jhye Richardson, and Ashton Agar. Lance Morris picked up five wickets in their last game against Adelaide Strikers for 24 runs from his four overs. He ran through the Adelaide middle order and bowled reasonably economically. Andre Tye and Jhye Richardson also picked up two wickets each.

Pitch Report
We have observed several high-scoring affairs at the Adelaide Oval ground this year. The first game scheduled here for the BBL this year was washed out entirely. But since then, a couple of games have seen scores of more than 200 runs in all four innings. But you can also expect a good bounce and carry from this track and the batters receiving total value for their strokes.
