SCO vs HEA Match Preview

The Brisbane Heat face the Perth Scorchers in Match 32 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League on Wednesday evening at the Gabba. Top of the table and still unbeaten, the Brisbane Heat have set the pace this season, with the Perth Scorchers, champions of the 2021/22 and 2022/23 BBL, three points behind them and with a game in hand. Despite scoring only 132/7 in their last game, the Brisbane Heat were able to win thanks to their bowling attack. However, if they are to keep their unbeaten streak, they will need to score more runs in this match. Many pundits were surprised when the Perth Scorchers were soundly defeated by the Adelaide Strikers in Match 27, but Aaron Hardie’s side returned to form against the Sydney Thunder on Monday. They will face the top-of-the-table team with confidence.

This game has all the makings of a classic, with the first-place team facing the champions in second, and there’s a chance of rain early on to heighten the tension. Brisbane Heat have been unstoppable so far this season, but we expect the Perth Scorchers to be their toughest opponents. Perth Scorchers were impressive with both bat and ball against the Sydney Thunder on Monday, and we believe they will win again in this match. Considering the team combination, Perth Scorchers is expected to win this match.
