Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Preview

The Scorchers have struggled in their last two games but they have a very strong side in all departments. They are sure to bounce back at some point, and I feel it will be against the Brisbane Heat.

Head to Head

Perth Scorchers have won four of their last five matches against the Brisbane Heat.

Perth Scorchers Form

The Perth Scorchers, the most successful side in BBL history, has made a struggling start to the BBL campaigns with one win and two defeats in three games. They are still fourth in the table and can still challenge near the top of results go their way.

Last time out, the Scorchers could only manage 143 in 20 overs against the Melbourne Renegades. Cooper Connolly continues his superb form with 66 runs but only Matthew Spoors (29) managed more than 10 other than Connolly.

The Renegades chased the score down with an over to spare. It was a comfortable win and the Scorchers will hope more of their batsmen can start finding some runs.

The Scorchers have been struggling for runs and their last match they produced a very poor effort with the bat. They will be hopeful that their star players can start supporting the young Cooper Connolly.

Brisbane Heat Form

The Brisbane Heat are currently second on the table with two wins from their two matches. They are the defending champions.

In the Heat’s last game, they bowled first, holding the Adelaide Strikers to 174 in 20 overs. Will Prestwidge took 2-16 in two overs.

The Brisbane outfit lost two early wickets in the chase but Nathan McSweeney, back from international duty scored and unbeaten 78 while Matt Renshaw supported him with 54 off 27 balls. The Heat won the game off the final ball of the innings.

Brisbane Heat are in good form. I don’t see them making any changes, unless there are a couple of rotations based on pitch conditions on the day.

Verdict

Perth Scorchers v Brisbane Heat - T20

Scorchers are set for the win with Cooper Connolly to continue his superb form. Nathan McSweeney is backed after his performance in the last game.
