Fantasy Cricket Tips:
The third and fourth teams on the points table will take on each other on the 24th of January at the Perth Stadium. Both these two teams would want to finish in the top two and so this game becomes all the more important.
The Perth Scorchers have signed Morne Morkel for the remainder of the tournament whereas the Strikers would be boosted by the comeback of Alex Carey. The last times these two teams met it was a run-fest at the Adelaide Oval where Rashid Khan turned the game in their favor.
