Predicting Adelaide Strikers Women’s playing XI for their match against Perth Scorchers Women in WBBL 

Adelaide Strikers are bottom of the table and need a few wins to keep their hopes alive for a place in the playoffs. The Strikers beat Hobart Hurricanes to win their second match of the campaign but that wasn’t enough to raise the team in the table. Despite having some huge names, the team is struggling to put together wins during the WBBL 2024 season. 

The next match for Adelaide Strikers is against Perth Scorchers at home on Tuesday. It is a huge game with just a handful of matches left to play. Loss on Tuesday for the Strikers will more or less knock them out of contention for a place in the playoffs. 

Here is the likely Adelaide Strikers Women’s playing XI vs Perth Scorchers

Top order 

Indian batter Smriti Mandhana has endured a mixed time during the ongoing WBBL season. The left-handed batter scored just six runs during the previous match. Fellow opener Katie Mack also scored 6 as both the openers fell to Kathryn Bryce. 

Middle Order

South African star Laura Wolvaardt is one of the batters who hasn’t struck gold as far as scoring is concerned. Adelaide will hope that the Proteas star can come good with the bat against Perth. Skipper Tahlia McGrath has been in decent nick with the bat and ball but the results around her will be a huge cause for concern. Bridget Patterson has been steady with the bat and behind the stumps and will want to do more with the bat against Perth. 

Lower-order 

The best batter for Adelaide in their last game was Madeline Penna who scored 60 off 40 balls. It was a key knock that helped her team score 140 on the board and also win the game. Orla Prendergast bowled 2 overs and picked 1/17 while Amanda Wellington scored 18 key runs with the bat and also got the wicket of Suzie Bates. 

Tail enders

Megan Schutt and Anesu Mushangwe did the job for Adelaide in the last match with 2 wickets each, Schutt got the key wickets of Elyse Vilani and Chloe Tyron, while Mushangwe got rid of Nicola Carey and Kathryn Bryce, Jemma Barsby went wicketless with the ball as she bowled just one over that was hit for 11 runs.
