The big news for Perth is the availability of England duo Jason Roy and Liam Livingston following a spell in quarantine after arriving from South Africa.

The pair are likely to come straight into the side and give the winless Scorchers a massive boost ahead of this clash.

Strikers have been given their own selection boost thanks to the availability of skipper Alex Carey and fast bowler Harry Conway.

Carey and Conway had missed the win over Brisbane Heat due to border closures from New South Wales to Queensland following a COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney.

Perth Scorchers v Adelaide Strikers – Betting Tips and Prediction

It is understandable why Perth have been pushed to favourites in this one given the firepower being added to their line-up.

However, while Liam Livingstone excelled in BBL 09, Jason Roy hasn’t been in great form of late.

The Scorchers have failed to win so far and it could take more than that pair to turn things around.

It means that the unpredictable but talented Strikers are good value in the outright winner market. Their price of 2.05 with Funbet looks a little too big.

Yes, they have been inconsistent but having Alex Carey back to bolster their top order is a huge positive.

Perth to Hit the Most Sixes

Regardless of if they win the match or not, Perth look the pick in the most sixes market.

The addition of Jason Roy and Liam Livingstone to Colin Munro means the maximums could be flying in Adelaide if the chance presents itself.

Livingstone in particular excelled at six-hitting last season. He hit just one six less than powerhouse Marcus Stoinis but played three fewer matches.

Perth to hit more sixes is priced at 1.85 with bet365.

Take on Roy with Munro

It could pay to take on Jason Roy in this match. Not only has he been in isolation, but also out of nick for England recently.

This is his first BBL action and picking Colin Munro to bag more runs in a head-to-head match-up looks a great bet.

Roy’s T20I scores in South Africa read 0, 14, 16 from three matches.

Munro took time to get going in BBL 10 but looks to have found his feet, especially after the swashbuckling 49 against the Stars.

He is priced at 2.0 with 22Bet to outshine Roy in this one.
