Finishing second with the 20 points, Adelaide Strikers were unlucky to miss out on first position by the barest margins of net run-rate and a defeat in the closing league stage encounter. Stepping out in pursuit of the 178 laid out infront of them by Sydney Sixers, the side faltered and lost their way to muster up 164 and be put down to a 13 run defeat on the day.
Elsewhere, Perth Scorchers come into this encounter with immense momentum with their ninth win of the season the last time around to climb into third place. In what was a comprehensive and pinch perfect display by the side, they ended up cutting short and blowing apart Hobart Hurricanes as they tore their gameplan and threw it out of the park to maraud their way to an impressive 35 run win.

It’s a display they’ll be looking to emulate come today’s tie as well, a match which looks set to be a closely contested affair, one which goes down right to the closing stages.

Perth Scorchers’ Georgia Redmayne is picked out by us for this contest owing to her high batting position and her ability to peel off runs at a quick rate, one which makes her an imperious player in the death overs.
AS-W Vs PS-W Dream11 Batswomen
Smashing her way to 101 runs in a mere 67 balls the last time around, Perth Scorchers’ opener Meg Lanning played out a gem of an innings to become the match winner for her side the last time around. It was an impeccable knock from the bat, one which saw her immerse us in a brand of clean hitting to smash her way to a staggering 15 boundaries.
Opner Nicole Bolton got the 44 runs in the same match to see her partner up Lanning for this tie while we have gone in with a partnership from the other side of the slot as well. We begin with Bridget Patterson who scored 30 runs in the previous encounter with Katie Mack coming in as well to partner her up for this one.
AS-W Vs PS-W Dream11 All-Rounders
When you score 60 runs in a mere 38 balls which include the 4 fours and sixes apiece, you are more than worthy of nailing down a place in our Dream 11 side. Sophie Devine comes into our side as the first player in this section of our Dream 11 side, a player who revelled us in an imperious brand of hitting as she cantered her way to a colossal score, one of the many behemoth knocks she’s player for her side this season.
The two wickets for Tahlia McGrath see her come in as well from Adelaide Strikers to wrap up our set of picks in this facet.

She only got the one over with the ball the last time around but her cameo of 22 runs with the bat make Amanda Wellington fro Adelaide Strikers an instant pick for her. She finds company in the form of Sarah Coyte, someone who returned with the two wickets in the same encounter with her ability to get movement either side of the ball cramping up the bats for room.
From Perth Scorchers meanwhile we have gone in with the duo of Samatha Betts and Taneale Peschel, a partnership which returned with the four wickets in between them the last time with the two apiece for either player.
