Perth Scorchers are set to cross swords with Adelaide Strikers in match 9 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021.

Meanwhile, Strikers picked up an emphatic 49 run win over Melbourne Renegades in the last game. The batting was once again wobbly and the team was bowled out for 149 in their innings. However, their bowling led by Wes Agar, Rashid Khan and Daniel Worrall restricted Renegades to a mere 100. Strikers will need their batting to fire because their bowling is one of the best in the competition and if the batters can perform well, they will be a tough nut to crack.

Pitch report

The match will be played in Perth Stadium. Historically the track has favored the batters. The average total on this ground is 167. (based on domestic records).
