PS vs MR Match Preview

Perth Scorchers will face MLR at their home stadium. The last time the Melbourne Renegades won an innings was against the Perth Scorchers in Melbourne when chasing a 144-run total. Their batting was also poor in that game, and MLR's top-order issues persist. The hosts lost their last match at this venue in Perth, defending 177 runs against the Sydney Thunder. Prior to the loss, they had won two out of two home matches. Finn Allen and Cooper Connolly are PRS's in-form batters in the top four. Allen hit two consecutive fifties, and Connolly consistently delivered in the middle order.
