THE LOWDOWN

PERTH SCORCHERS

  • Perth Scorchers were dealt somewhat of a shock last time out, their four-match winning run coming to an abrupt end at home against Sydney Thunder, but they remain well-positioned in the table.
  • They were always going to struggle to defend 142/9, which was exactly the case with their bowlers left with not enough runs to play with.

BRISBANE HEAT

  • Brisbane Heat have been unable to fashion any sort of consistency so far across the Men’s BBL and they come into this one, desperately needing the points to push themselves back towards a play-off spot.
  • Their cause wasn’t helped by the bad weather in Sydney on Wednesday, with their match against Sydney Sixers abandoned due to rain after they had made a strong start with the bat.

THE PREDICTION

Brisbane Heat are a frustrating outfit to watch. They are capable of beating any team across the men’s BBL if they can harness together a strong collective performance, but so often they are found wanting in a single department which ultimately costs them whether it be bat or ball. Whilst Perth Scorchers might have slipped up unexpectedly against Sydney Sixers, they are an experienced side with more than enough nous to have already put that performance behind them. They are too strong a team not to respond positively and you’d expect them to bounce back with victory over the inconsistent Heat.
