Adelaide Strikers have won the toss and have opted to field
5:20 PM Local Time: A mid-table clash today in the second game of the Big Bash League, as the Perth Scorchers host the Adelaide Strikers. The Scorchers are on a three match winning streak, and have been formidable opponents on their home turf. The Adelaide Strikers have been the worst travellers, losing both on the road this year to add to an already dismal record from last season. The odds are stacked heavily towards a home win for the Scorchers, but T20 cricket can always spring up a surprise. Back shortly with the toss and team news.
