Brisbane Heat

The Brisbane Heat have been clinical with their performance this season. They are the only team that has yet to lose a match. As a result, the Heat have become the first franchise to qualify for this year’s playoffs.

Colin Munro is on good form and has scored 2 half-centuries in his 6 innings so far. He is also the leading run-scorer for the team this season. The likes of Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, Sam Billings, and Josh Brown have all chipped in at the right moments to help the team remain unbeaten so far.

With Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja likely to be available to play this match, the selectors will have some tricky decisions to make. The bowling has been equally brilliant for the Heat. Xavier Bartlett is the leading wicket-taker for this season and has picked up 13 wickets in just 6 games.

He has received excellent support from Paul Walter and Spencer Johnson in the seam department, while Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann will lead the spin attack.

Perth Scorchers

The defending champions faced their first hiccup of the season as they lost a match against the Adelaide Strikers last week. Nevertheless, they did bounce back on Monday by defeating Sydney Thunder. As a result, the Scorchers are placed second on the table and a win here will guarantee them a top 3 finish.

Zak Crawley is in fine form in the opening slot. He has scored 2 half-centuries in his 5 innings and will look to give the team a solid start along with Sam Whiteman. Aaron Hardie is once again the most consistent performer in the middle order. He has scored 273 runs at an average of 54.60.

He has received excellent support from Josh Inglis and Laurie Evans, both of whom are known to strike some lusty blows. The seam bowling is another highlight of the Scorchers’ performance this season. Jason Behrendorff and Lance Morris are the leading wicket-takers with 9 wickets each, while Jhye Richardson and Andrew Tye have played a supporting role.

The team does however seem a bit lacking in the spin department.

BH vs PER Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Gabba is excellent to bat on early on in the game. There is some grass on the surface, allowing the ball to skid and offer true pace. The batsmen will enjoy playing their shots. However, the pitch slows down as the match progresses and becomes two-paced. The spinners will get some grip and turn, making life difficult for the batsmen. A score of around 175 is a par score.

The weather will remain overcast throughout the day and there are chances of some drizzles interrupting the game.

BH vs PER Betting Tips

Both, the Scorchers and Brisbane are two of the most consistent teams this season. While it is difficult to predict a clear winner, we feel that Brisbane has an edge in this match. They have a well-rounded bowling attack, especially when it comes to spin, and the return of Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne is likely to boost the team’s batting prowess.

Bet on the Brisbane Heat to win.
