The Strikers move to the top of the BBL table thanks to three wins and four Bash Boost points but they have played one more game than six other teams. The Scorchers are still winless after four games. Thanks for your company tonight. Join us again tomorrow for the BBL double-header.
Rashid Khan is Player of the Match. He was phenomenal making 29 off 13 with the bat to completely seize the momentum and then he bamboozled the Scorchers middle order.
Phil Salt: "It was great to get a win. Rash was in doubt but what a performance he put in tonight."
Adelaide Strikers win by 71 runs. That was comprehensive. Superb defensive display from the Strikers. The Scorchers starting brightly in the Powerplay but once Inglis fell the innings crumbled. It was the first game with the two England internationals out of quarantine but they would have hoped for a far better showing.
Anubhav : "What went wrong for the Scorchers? They were the number 1 BBL team until last 3 years and they haven't even looked mediocre those last 3 years. It's been a disaster. Was it Klinger leaving that triggered this?" It's completely different team now. They haven't gelled yet.

Sakush KC: "Woeful performance for the Scorchers. Even more so considering 11 out of their 13 players (Playing XI plus the 2 X-factors) have represented their country in international cricket. Scorchers showcasing that the game is not won on paper!"
AJ Tye b Siddle 13 (8b 3x4 0x6) SR: 162.50
