Perth Scorchers

The Perth Scorchers started off with a win but have seen their form dip. They are coming into this contest on the back of consecutive losses.

The opening pair of Finn Allen and Keaton Jennings hasn’t been in the best of forms and has struggled to give the team a good start. Allen is going through a particularly rough patch and is averaging just over 3 runs in his 3 innings.

Cooper Connolly on the other hand has played brilliantly, scoring 2 half-centuries and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. He has also picked up a couple of wickets. The others in the middle order include Josh Inglis, Ashton Turner, Matthew Spoors, and Nick Hobson but they have yet to play a meaningful knock.

On the bowling front, the unavailability of Jhye Richardson has left a dent in the pace attack and the Scorchers will rely on Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye to deliver the goods. Ashton Agar will retain his place despite picking up only 2 wickets.

Perth Scorchers Expected Playing 11

Brisbane Heat

Brisbane has picked up from where it left last season and has won both matches. They are currently placed 2nd on the points table.

Jimmy Peirson is in excellent form at the top of the order and is the leading run-scorer for his team. He will be joined by Colin Munro at the top of the order. Matthew Renshaw and Nathan McSweeney make up a strong middle order. They struck individual half-centuries in the last match to guide their team to an easy victory.

Max Bryant and Paul Walter haven’t had much work to do. The Brisbane team does lack depth in its batting.

The bowling has been another highlight of Heat’s performance so far. Xavier Bartlett is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 4 wickets and is ably supported by Will Prestwidge and Tom Whitney in the pace department.

The team also has two quality spinners, Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann.
