STR vs SCO Dream11 Prediction: Perth Scorchers have been heads and shoulders above the remaining sides in BBL. Taking into account the manner of play exhibited by the three-time BBL winners, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if they manage to get their hands on their fourth title this season. At present, the Scorchers lie atop the points table with 10 wins in 12 matches, and they’d be coming into this match on the back of a comprehensive win over the Melbourne Stars that witnessed the likes of Laurie Evans (69) and Matthew Kelly (4/25) surface as the top-performers. Meanwhile, the Adelaide Strikers are still unsure of a spot in the knockouts, considering they lie at the fifth spot and tied alongside Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat with three wins each. Rashid Khan’s six-wicket haul over the Heat gave the Strikers a much-needed win, something the latter could make use of to build momentum for the remaining matches of the season.

Jonathan Wells Stats in T20
The right-hander finds himself as a certain pick from a fantasy point of view. He is, by far, the only bankable batter in the Strikers’ lineup and whose performances become all the more crucial in the must-win stages of the tournament. The No. 4 batter has scored the most number of runs for the Strikers in BBL 11 (303) while averaging 30.30 and striking at 127.31, and he could be backed to come up with a decent knock against the Scorchers.
Rashid Khan Stats in T20
Time and again the leggie has shown why he’s rated as the best bowler in the shortest format of the game. In the last match against the Brisbane Heat, Rashid may have missed out on a hattrick, but he managed to grab figures of 6/17 to finish with 20 wickets at the end of 11 matches played so far in BBL.

Andrew Tye Stats in T20
The champion bowler stands tall in terms of most wickets for the Scorchers in the ongoing edition of BBL (19) while averaging merely 16.94 and maintaining an economy of 7.95. Tye has been a gun bowler for the Scorchers for yet another season, and he’s is likely to come up with crucial breakthroughs as the matches progress.
Ashton Agar Stats in T20
Agar’s been a fantasy favorite in BBL 11 with his all-round contributions on a consistent basis. So far, the left-arm orthodox has grabbed 14 wickets at an economy of 7.10, and with the bat, he’s averaged a modest 23.60 while striking at 145-plus.
Perth Scorchers have been a far dominant side than the Adelaide Strikers in BBL 11. The presence of multiple match-winners has been the main contributor to their team’s success so far. The Scorchers are well confirmed for the top two spots and are likely to muster a win or two more in the remaining matches of their league fixture. The odds are against the Strikers who have heavily banked on the likes of Jonathan Wells, Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle, for their individual brilliance has been the few positives for the Adelaide-based franchise in BBL 11. As per STR vs SCO today match prediction and Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers cricket betting tips, Scorchers are the heavy favorites for this match.
