Full Scorecard of Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers, 17th Match | BBL 14
Full Scorecard: Strikers recovered from 58 for 8 courtesy of a Doggett-Boyce record BBL partnership but the total of 142 was chased down with 33 balls remaining
A record ninth-wicket partnership with the bat wasn’t enough for Adelaide Strikers to stop Perth Scorchers, who cruised home with 33 balls to spare.
Scorchers finish 2024 in second position on the BBL ladder after cruising to a seven-wicket win over the Adelaide Strikers on New Year’s Eve.
A record-breaking ninth-wicket stand between tailenders Brendan Doggett (47*) and Cameron Boyce (29*) spared the Strikers total humiliation in front of a bumper crowd of 41,624 at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday night, lifting them to 142 for 8.
But it wasn’t enough to stop resurgent Finn Allen (50 off 23 balls), golden-bat leader Cooper Connolly (48* off 35 balls) and captain Ashton Turner (35* off 18 balls) from piloting the Scorchers to victory with 33 deliveries to spare.
Matt Hurst was dropped twice before being pouched for three, and the Scorchers should have been 13 for 3 when Connolly, on four, edged Doggett to wicketkeeper Ollie Pope but only the bowler offered a muted appeal.
