WBBL Live L

With the WBBL regular season now complete and the top four sides for 2019-20 determined, Adelaide and Perth have the first shot at reaching this year's decider.

The Strikers matched the first-placed Brisbane Heat's 10–4 win-loss record, finishing second only due to their inferior net run rate. Third-ranked Perth picked up nine wins as they secured a finals berth for the fourth time in five seasons.

Both of these teams are chasing their first WBBL title, with the Strikers still yet to reach a decider and Perth falling short in back-to-back finals against the Sydney Sixers in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

The second semi-final will pit minor premiers and defending champions Brisbane Heat against the Melbourne Renegades. Both semi-finals and the final are being played at the Heat's home ground, Allan Border Field.

Who will win the Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers WBBL semi-final?

Taking a look back at the recent and overall history between these sides doesn't give a lot away in terms of picking a winner.

From 10 matches to date, the South Australian side have a narrow edge with 6 wins. More recently, the Scorchers have won two of their past three encounters against Adelaide, with the teams splitting their two regular season matches this year.

With the semi-final being played on neutral territory, the winner may well come down to the flip of the coin.
