The 32nd game of the 2024 Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) will feature a showdown between the Adelaide Strikers Women and Perth Scorchers Women at Karen Rolton Oval this Tuesday.
It has been a challenging campaign for the Strikers, who find themselves languishing at the bottom of the standings with just 4 points from eight matches and a net run rate of -0.594. However, they finally snapped their losing streak in their previous outing, securing their second victory of the season with an impressive 38-run triumph over Hobart Hurricanes Women.
On the other hand, the Scorchers are sitting in fourth place with 8 points from seven matches, maintaining a slightly positive net run rate of 0.099. They will be looking to bounce back after a 7-wicket defeat against Sydney Thunder Women in their last match.
Interestingly, the Strikers have dominated recent meetings with the Scorchers, claiming victories in both clashes over the past two seasons. The question now is whether they can capitalize on this history and reignite their faltering campaign with another win against Perth.

Perth Scorchers team news
Meanwhile, the Perth Scorchers, batting first at the MCG, posted a competitive 170-5, thanks to a magnificent knock of 97 off 64 balls by Beth Mooney. However, their total proved insufficient as the Sydney Thunder chased it down with an over to spare.

While consistency from other batters has been lacking, skipper Sophie Devine remains a dependable asset.
On the bowling front, Alana King has spearheaded Perth’s attack, claiming 14 wickets in 7 matches at an economy of 7.03. Support from Chloe Ainsworth and Amy Louise Edgar, who have picked up 9 and 7 wickets respectively, will be crucial as the Scorchers aim to bounce back.
