They’ve got only 3 wins in 11 games in BBL 2021/22 so far have Adelaide Strikers but the good news is that they’ve got two of these victories in their last three games itself. But the bad news is their leading wicket-taker and Man of the Match from the last game is out of the tournament, and it’s going to be a super tough day in the office for them here as they get ready to take on the BBL 11 points table leaders, Perth Scorchers.
The Scorchers have lost only 2 of their 12 games this season and are comfortably perched at the top of the points table. Unlike other teams, they didn’t lose players to Covid-19 or had many national side call-ups either. However, they are also at their most vulnerable at this point of time this season, as we play BBL 11 Match 49.

Adelaide Strikers
They will be without Rashid Khan who said goodbye to BBL 11 in style as he bagged career-best BBL figures of 6/17 in the last game. It means they will play with an all-Australian team by either bringing in Wes Agar or a like-for-like replacement in leg-spinner, Fawad Ahmed. Both are experienced and worth picking in our STR vs SCO fantasy teams while Peter Siddle has led the side by example and we can pick him as well. They also signed Ian Cockbain for the rest of the BBL 11 season.
While he’s not your typical frontline batsman, we’d recommend having Thomas Kelly in your STR vs SCO Dream11 team as the youngster has been hitting a long ball and he really hits them very clean, in the middle order. The move down the order from the opening slot for Jake Weatherald seemed to work and he’s now worth adding to your team as well, after a 30-odd score in the last game. Matt Renshaw missed two games due to isolation and he could return here.
Perth Scorchers
With only 38 runs in his last three games, Kurtis Patterson has been out of touch and won’t be in many fantasy teams today but he has three fifties in the season and is one of the more talented batters in the lineup so we won’t leave him out. Ever since Mitchell Marsh was picked for the Ashes 2021/22 squad, Laurie Evans has been able to bring out his A-game higher up the order with a sublime match-winning knock in the last game, and we wouldn’t even mind seeing him open the batting.

Matthew Kelly started his BBL 11 with a 4-fer and got another one in his last game as well, but we’re skipping him from our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) STR vs SCO fantasy teams as he’s left out because of Covid-19 protocol. Peter Hatzoglou has been getting wickets but we don’t rate him highly as a bowler and has been expensive as well, so we’d rather pick the more experienced Ashton Agar who can bat if needed too.
