Adelaide Strikers (STR) will take on defending champions and table-toppers Perth Scorchers (SCO) in the Match No. 48 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 at Adelaide Oval on Friday (January 20). The Strikers suffered a massive 59-run defeat against in-form Sydney Sixers in their last game. They were bowled out on 144 runs while chasing a 204-run target despite Alex Carey scoring 54 off 35 and Matthew Short adding quick 40. But they still remain in the race for the knockout round with five wins from their first 12 games.
The Scorchers have bounced back to the top spot with an easy seven-wicket win over Hobart Hurricanes in their last match. Andrew Tye and Lance Morris took two wickets each to restrict the Hurricanes to 146/9 while bowling first. Then Aaron Hardie then smashed 90 not out off 62 and in-form wicketkeeper Josh Inglis smashed 53 off 35 to chase the target with 15 balls remaining. The Scorchers have won three of their last five encounters against the Strikers and are favorite to win this match as well.
