Scorecard

Adelaide Strikers made it two wins in a row as they were comfortable in chasing 120 to defeat Perth Scorchers by seven wickets.

Four balls into the first innings, the Scorchers had lost both Beth Mooney and Chloe Piparo, both registering ducks as Jemma Barsby (3 for 22) got her team off to the perfect start.

Player of the match, Megan Schutt took 4 for 20 to ensure Strikers carried this momentum through the innings and Scorchers never recovered.

Sophie Devine and Maddy Green did put on 61 off 53 to wrestle back some control before Schutt quickly stopped that, taking two in two to remove Devine and then Marizanne Kapp first ball.

Barsby added another wicket to her tally while Deandra Dottin and Amanda-Jade Wellington took one each to reduce the innings to a run rate of only 5.95.

Dottin then made light work of the chase with 68 off 51, making her highest score of this year's competition.

She was unable to see the innings through as she fell to Devine, and Piepa Cleary accounted for the wickets of Katie Mack and Laura Wolvaardt.

Despite the three wickets falling, they chased the target with four overs left to brush Scorchers aside, with Bridget Patterson unbeaten on 21.
