1.08 pm Two in a row, a rare win streak for the Strikers but it's coming at the right time as they push for a playoff spot. Scorchers have finally been bitten by the Covid depletions that have effected most other squads this season, but they still have a stranglehold on first place.
That's it from today's coverage. Come back tomorrow for another early start from Adelaide Oval to kick off a BBL doubleheader. Until then, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
