PER vs BH Team Previews
Perth Scorchers
While the Perth Scorchers are already through to the next round, a win here will be important if they want to finish in second place and get two shots at making it to the finals.
The Perth Scorchers are coming into this contest on the back of a defeat against Brisbane in a reverse fixture played on Wednesday. It was pretty much a one-sided affair as the Scorchers never really looked in control of the game.
A lot will depend on the performance of Aaron Hardie, who is the top run-getter for the team. Zak Crawley and Sam Whiteman will open the batting, while Josh Inglis and Laurie Evans will follow them lower down the order. Cooper Connolly hasn’t been in the best of forms with the bat and that means the team looks a bit out of depth in the batting line-up.
The Scorchers boast a seam-heavy bowling unit. Jason Behrendorff is the leading wicket-taker with 11 wickets, while Lance Morris, Andrew Tye, and Jhye Richardson have played a supporting role.
Ashton Agar and Hamish McKenzie will feature in the spin department but the duo has had limited success so far.

Brisbane Heat
The Brisbane Heat are by far the most consistent team this season. They are the only team that is yet to lose a match and will finish at the top of the table irrespective of the outcome of this match.
While Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja did feature in the fixture on Wednesday, their participation in Saturday’s match isn’t yet confirmed. Nevertheless, the team has plenty of firepower in its batting. Colin Munro has been pretty consistent with the bat and has scored 224 runs at an average of 37.33.
He will have the support of Sam Billings, Matt Renshaw, and Paul Walter, all of whom are capable of hitting the ball a long distance. Brisbane Heat owes much of its success to some brilliant bowling. Xavier Bartlett and Paul Walter are the top two wicket-takers of this season and will hope to bowl another good spell.
They have received good support from Michael Neser and Spencer Johnson, while the spinners, Matthew Kuhnemann and Mitchell Swepson have picked up 16 wickets between them.
