SCO vs HUR Match Preview

Match 9 of the 2023-24 season On Wednesday evening, the Perth Scorchers will face the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League. The Scorchers’ first game of the season was called off after 6.5 overs due to a poor pitch, but they went on to defeat the Melbourne Stars by 7 wickets. The Hobart Hurricanes were defeated by the Sydney Sixers in their only match. The comfortable win over the Melbourne Stars demonstrates that the Perth Scorchers will be just as strong in this year’s BBL as they have been in previous seasons. Hobart Hurricanes may have had a disappointing start against Sydney Sixers, but they have plenty of talent throughout their team and could cause some problems for Perth Scorchers if they have a good day.

Topmost Picks for SCO vs HUR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Perth Scorchers

• Aaron Hardie – The top order batter hit a four and a six in a typically attacking innings against Melbourne Stars. He picked up a wicket in that game also and looks like a really handy all-rounder this year.
• Andrew Tye – It is very rare for the experienced fast medium bowler to go through a BBL game without dismissing a batter and he picked up figures of 1/24.

Top Picks – Hobart Hurricanes

• Matthew Wade – The keeper-batter always scores his T20 runs at a strong strike-rate and he comes into this match with a top score of 130 not out in this format.
• Chris Jordan – The vastly experienced bowling all-rounder hit a six with the bat but went wicketless against Sydney Sixers. However, with 342 T20 wickets, he is always a threat in this format.
