Below is a complete breakdown of form, pitch, weather, predicted playing XIs, and our expert analysis for today’s match.
Team Form & Performance Overview
Adelaide Strikers Women
ADSW have been hot and cold this season. Their bowling continues to be their biggest strength, often keeping opponents under pressure. However, their top-order starts have been inconsistent. They usually perform better while defending totals in the 140–150 range, thanks to their disciplined attack.
Perth Scorchers Women
PRSW rely heavily on their experienced top order. When their opening duo fires, they put up massive totals like the 172/3 they scored earlier this season. But if they lose quick wickets, the middle order struggles to rebuild. Historically, they have not chased well against Adelaide’s bowling.
