STR vs SCO Dream11 Prediction, Grand League Tips- Big Bash League

STR vs SCO Dream11 Prediction: Adelaide Strikers will lock horns with the Perth Scorchers in the 49th game of BBL 2021-22. The Scorchers are on the top of the points table with 10 wins in 2 games while Adelaide are on the 5th spot with 3 wins and 8 losses.

Perth Scorchers‘

Perth have been in excellent form in BBL 11. Their batters are playing really well and their bowlers have been phenomenal. Despite the absence of their star players like Mitchell Marsh, Jos Inglis, Tymal Mills, etc they have done a really good job as a team. Players like Andrew Tye, Matthew Kelly, and Ashton Turner, etc have stepped-up to the occasion. Perth will look to continue their winning streak.

Probable Playing 11: Kurtis Patterson, Nick Hobson, Laurie Evans (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Aaron Hardie, Chris Sabburg, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Matthew Kelly, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou.

Adelaide Strikers

Strikers have been very poor in this BBL with only 3 wins and 8 losses in the 11 games they have played. Adelaide won their last game due to a phenomenal performance by Rashid Khan. He picked a 6-wicket haul against the Brisbane Heat. The Striker’s batting unit is the main reason for their poor performance with no one really performing consistently with the bat for them. Their bowling attack has been decent but Rashid Khan is unavailable for the remainder of the tournament and it’s a body blow for them. Senior players like Jake Weatherald, will have to step up and take responsibility now for their team.

Probable Playing 11: Matthew Short, Henry Hunt, Jake Weatherald, Ian Cockbain, Jonathan Wells, Thomas Kelly, Harry Nielsen (wk), Henry Thornton, Peter Siddle (c), Fawad Ahmed, Harry Conway
