Team News

• The Scorchers aren’t expected to panic after such a setback, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they maintained the same starting lineup for this match, especially given the short turnaround between matches.
• Last time out, Melbourne Stars were relieved to return to winning ways, defeating Brisbane Heat by 20 runs after scoring 207/9 while batting first at the Gabba.

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars Match Tips

On what should be a belter of a track at Marvel Stadium, a high-scoring clash between two devastating batting teams on their day is expected. Qais Ahmad and Adam Zampa, the visitors’ spin bowling pair, will be essential against Perth’s powerful top order, which features Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, and Josh Inglis. This match might go either way depending on who performs well with the bat on the day, and while the Melbourne Stars have more diverse spin options, the Perth Scorchers have lots of seasoned fast bowling. Finally, despite their recent setback, the Scorchers’ steadiness throughout the tournament may just tip the scales in their favor today, so support them to win what should be a great game.
