THE TEAM NEWS
PERTH SCORCHERS
- Perth Scorchers meet the same side whom they faced back this past Wednesday, beating the Renegades by 21 runs to make it five wins from five in the Big Bash so far, the only 100% record remaining in the competition.
- All-rounder Mitchell Marsh continued his incredible recent form with 86 in that game and with a top order that boasts Marsh, Josh Inglis and Colin Munro, the Scorchers’ firepower is envied across the entire BBL.
MELBOURNE RENEGADES
- An improvement with the ball is required from Melbourne Renegades if they are to overcome the Perth Scorchers juggernaut, after they fell victim to their opponents’ big hitting prowess last time out.
- Opener Aaron Finch made his return to the side with a brisk 68 and he will hope to play a big part again here with the bat, after he helped the Renegades make a good fist of chasing down 207, albeit in a losing effort.
THE PREDICTION
It’s a testament to the strength of Perth Scorchers from a batting perspective, when arguably Melbourne Renegades’ best effort so far this season with the bat was still not enough to beat them. The Scorchers now rematch Nic Maddinson’s side and it’s difficult not to see them picking up where they left off in terms of imposing their big-hitting prowess upon the Renegades from the very start of their innings whether they be setting or chasing a target. The strength-in-depth of Perth Scorchers combined with the confidence and experience within their camp should see them wind up simply too strong for their opponents and complete a second BBL double of the campaign.
