Perth were first to bat and scored 162 runs in their 20 overs, with Adam Voges top-scoring for the Scorchers with 58 runs off 41 balls.
Phil Hughes helped Adelaide build a steady reply and keep the match alive right until the closing stages, scoring 74 runs in a man-of-the-match performance.
Brad Hogg eventually dismissed Hughes but Nathan Reardon made 42 to set up a grandstand finish.
Needing three runs from the final over for victory, Theo Doropoulos crashed home a four to secure the Strikers victory by six wickets.
