STR vs SCO Dream11 Prediction for today’s BBL Match 27, Playing XI, Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

The year 2024 is ready for another payback match on the 5th of January as the Adelaide Strikers and Perth Scorchers will go head to head once again in Big Bash League 2023-24. The last game saw the Scorchers completely dominate the Strikers with both bat and ball which ended with another convincing win for the Scorchers by a margin of 42 runs at the Perth stadium. However this time the Strikers will have the home ground advantage in this game which will be held at the Adelaide Oval. The Scorchers have been one of the best teams in the league so far and will want to dominate the Strikers yet again, but the strikers will have nothing to lose and will especially want to win with the home support and make the fans happy.

The Adelaide Strikers are currently at the bottom of the table after their disappointing loss to the Perth Scorchers in the last encounter. Losing 4 in a row has not done any favours for their season so far where they could only manage a solitary victory out of their 6 games in the tournament so far. Things are not looking good for the strikers so far and they would like to get back to winning ways what could be a better day than to beat the best team in BBL history on their home turf?

The Perth Scorchers on the other hand have once again dominated every team they have played with in this tournament. Their batters and bowlers have been in sublime form and they will want to continue that going into the next few games as well. With 4 wins out of the 5 games they have played and are one of the undefeated teams right now. They will still have a challenge ahead of them as they have played only 1 match away from home before this, but the 5 time BBL champions are looking good and will be ready to bring the heat to Oval tomorrow.

STR vs SCO  –  Likely pitch conditions

The Adelaide Oval can be unpredictable at times due to the sandy texture of the soil, but still has a hard surface. It seems to give the pacers enough extra bounce to make the batter uncomfortable and does give the spinners a bit of drift and turn. However, the short boundaries on each side give the batters enough licence to play the big shots. The last few games which were played at this venue saw the chasing side come out on top since the surface seemed to have gotten better as the game progressed. Therefore it looks like it might be the best choice for the team to bowl first and restrict the team to under 170 and chase down the total.
