Perth Scorchers To Win, 1.58
The Scorchers are formidable at "The Furnace" (Optus Stadium), boasting a superior record and having won their last two home games.
Perth’s lineup is stacked with current Australian internationals like Mitch Marsh, Aaron Hardie, and Ashton Agar, giving them a clear quality advantage over Adelaide.
Perth has won 4 of the last 5 meetings, proving they have the tactical edge over the Strikers.
PS vs AS Betting Tips
Perth Scorchers total runs if batting first to be over 174.5 runs
The Optus Stadium pitch is a batter’s dream, rewarding clean hitters with pace onto the bat. The Scorchers have already posted mammoth totals of 250+ and 200+ this season, proving their ability to score heavy. With power-hitters like Marsh and Hardie in form, backing them to clear 175 is a high-value play on this surface.
Any batter to score 50 runs in the match
This is a statistically safe bet. Both teams have consistently produced half-centurions this season—Perth has four in four games, while Adelaide has had one in every match so far. With the pitch offering true bounce and the likes of Marsh, Hardie, and Lynn in red-hot form, expecting at least one 50+ score is almost a guarantee.

Adelaide Strikers
While both sides are coming off comprehensive wins, the class gap becomes apparent when you look closer. The Perth Scorchers’ dominance at home, combined with their star-studded roster, should be enough to see them over the line against an Adelaide side overly reliant on individual brilliance.

PS vs AS Team Previews
Perth Scorchers
Perth’s batting unit went into overdrive at Bellerive Oval, piling on 229/3 to secure a crushing 40-run win. Captain Mitch Marsh set the tone with a brutal 102 off 58 balls, while Aaron Hardie played the perfect partner with an unbeaten 94 off 43. Their 164-run partnership dismantled the Hurricanes.
The strategy is simple: attack in the powerplay and sustain the pressure through middle-order powerhouses Ashton Turner, Laurie Evans, and Nick Hobson.
With the ball, they defended well on a flat deck. Ashton Agar’s 3 wickets provided crucial control, while pacers Hardie, Joel Paris, and Brody Couch chipped in with two scalps each. If they tighten up a few expensive overs, they look unstoppable.
Perth Scorchers Expected Playing 11
Mitchell Marsh, Finn Allen (wk), Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Ashton Turner (c), Laurie Evans, Nick Hobson, Ashton Agar, Joel Paris, Brody Couch, Mahli Beardman.

Adelaide Strikers
Adelaide will be happy with their 7-wicket win over Brisbane, where they bowled the Heat out for 121. However, the chase revealed some cracks. While Chris Lynn was dominant with 79* off 41 balls, the rest of the batting looked shaky. Captain Matt Short struggled for timing (19 off 27), and the reliance on Lynn is a major concern against a quality attack like Perth’s.
Bowling remains their wildcard. Jamie Overton and Liam Scott were excellent in squeezing the Heat, but leg-spinner Lloyd Pope leaked 41 runs in 3 overs. Against Perth’s aggressive lineup, Pope could be targeted again, which is a massive vulnerability.
Adelaide Strikers Expected Playing 11
Matthew Short (c), Chris Lynn, Mackenzie Harvey (wk), Jerssis Wadia, Liam Scott, Jason Sangha, Jamie Overton, Harry Manenti, Luke Wood, Hasan Ali, Lloyd Pope.
PS vs AS Toss Prediction
Both teams prefer chasing on true batting wickets. With Adelaide successful in their last chase and Perth boasting a deep batting lineup, expect the captain winning the toss to bowl first to assess the target.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Optus Stadium is renowned for its pace and bounce. Fast bowlers who hit hard lengths get great value, while batters can trust the bounce to play through the line. A first-innings score of 170+ is the minimum standard for competitiveness here.
Weather: Expect scorching heat. It will be hot and dry, with temperatures soaring. A moderate breeze might offer some relief but will also assist swing bowlers early on.
PS vs AS: Who Will Win?
The Perth Scorchers have already proven they can handle the Strikers under pressure, having beaten them in the pre-season Top End T20 series to claim silverware. Now, with home advantage and their international stars firing, the gap in quality is too large to ignore.
Bet on Perth Scorchers to win.
