From what we have seen this season, this match is surely going to be fun and bring a lot of excitement for the cricket viewers.
The losing team will bid adieu, whereas the winning team will play in the challenge and get closer to the BBL trophy. The Perth Scorchers are a lot more experienced than the Adelaide Strikers as far as the playoffs are concerned, and being the home team as well, they hold the aces.
But the Strikers have done crazy things this season, and with the kind of form Matthew Short is in, it would be complete foolishness to rule his team out.
